Hi
Since around August time I sometimes out of the blue come up with random patches usually on my hands. Sometimes a little bit on my face and the other day awkwardly I felt it on my feet when wearing shoes. My skin just feels very reactive. I do not have an obvious allergies except pollen and some dust. The patches feel like burning sensations and it makes it hard to concentrate. They are becoming more frequent. I don't really know why - so any advice would be great. I did wonder if it is stress related - but I can't say there is a direct link there.
I have attached a few pics of my hands to show you. Please note the quality is a little poor- so the red blotches I would say are 3xs more red than they appear in the pic. Red enough for people to see it from a few metres away. They are a bright red and feel hot.
Extra notes:
Computer related: There does not seem to be a link with the computer - but I have noticed when I go touch a lot of cardboard boxes - my skin arm which goes in contact now comes up with quite a few white lines with red surrounding skin.
Odd occasions: Oddly - one i accidently wacked my thumb against a cold metal rod- part of a table. It didn't hurt and wasn't a dangerous hit. But for about 15 mins my thumb lumped a little and went redish- it was unusual and very hot and uncomfortable
In one of the images my hand wrinkles- that was the only time that happened. You can't see it that clearly but in that picture other parts of my hand went bright red.
Thank you in advance
