I have developed brown, leathery spots on the middle knuckels of both of my hands. Recently it has begun to develope on the index knuckles and this week they became red and painful as though I had scraped or chaffed them?
What is this?
I have been treating them with a Burt's Bees Rescue balm which is soothing the red and soreness, however the leathery ovals remain.
I am a light-skinned nigerian lady in my late twenties. I have a sensitive skin and most skin products causes my rash on my skin. Presently, i have been using 'Dove pink/rosa' soap and 'fair n white' body lotion mixed with serum. I only use funbact-A on my face whenever i feel like am having too much of pimples or rash.
I have had dark knuckles for a very long time but its getting darker and its beginning to worry me. let me include my addiction for 'Pears baby lotion'.
I started treatment 7 days ago. Over the last week these dots have spread to 3 of my knuckles on my right hand and two knuckles on my left. These are all the knuckles I crack. I don’t crack my pinkies or my right index finger because it was injured years ago and doesn’t crack and these knuckles are fine. Also, a few dots are starting to go up my left arm.
Is this worth bringing up to my doc? I have an appointment tomorrow to see what my viral load is after the first week of treatment.
A friend of mine in his early 20's has had 'blackening' of his knuckles over ~6 weeks. They are also thick, like a callous, but no boxing, or other trauma, and no pigmentation or rash anywhere else, including elbows, knees, etc. This is not itchy or painful.
Hello, Ive been getting a weird rash lately on my knuckles and top part of my hands. Ive been noticing it at night at home when I get back from work. I would be sitting at my desk on the computer and then all of a sudden the top part of my hands as well as my knuckles become very dry and a stingy red rash develops. It doesnt occur after I eat because it has happened while Im hungry. I do use "Dial Antibacterial hand foaming soap with Moisturizer".
The rash on knuckles, hands and wrists is almost gone, but he has a rash on his backside and stomach. The elbow, and shoulder pain is less, but he now has some pain in his ankle. His throat remains tight. He has no fever.

m a healthy 19 yr old male, I dont have any recorded allergies, however for the past year or so my Knuckles and areas around the knuckle on both hands have become red and itchy, this is the ONLY area of concern, my diet hasn't changed nor has my lifestyle, in fact I'm eating healthier and working out more, the only major change would be that i'm entering/entered stage 4 of puberty, this knuckle issue is becoming a concern as I am completely unaware of what it is, several MD's hav
You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Also use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. Fungal infections have to be ruled out then.
Hello,
From the symptoms one of the possibilities that is coming to my mind is of dermatomyositis. It is a muscle disease characterized by inflammation and a skin rash. It presents with typical rash on the knuckles and other body parts like neck, shoulders, upper chest, and back. Investigations like Bloods test to check levels of creatine phosphokinase and aldolase, electromyography and muscle biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. I would suggest a dermatologist’s evaluation.
When i woke up in the morning i looked at it and a rash, consisting of small, itchy, red bumps, had appeared on the knuckles of both my pointer fingers. It has been about 4 days now and the rash has spread up my pointer fingers, to the next knuckles, down the side of my hands and to my elbows. I have had a slight history of eczema, however, it was on my neck area and i have not had a flare up in about 3 years.
It comes for a couple of months, goes for a couple of months. The same type of rash appeared on top of my right hand briefly, on the knuckles, 3 weeks ago and is now healing. The genital area is also itchy with drier patches.
So, what gives? Are the new moles and skin issues connected? What could this be?
Maybe an hour after handling some flowers (marigolds, petunias, and chickweed), I noticed a burning sensation in my knuckles. That went away after an hour or so, although it continued if I dried my hands roughly with a towel for the next few days. Anyway, a day or so after the initial contact, I noticed about 10 small red marks on my right hand, and 2 or 3 on my left hand -- on the knuckles or the base of my fingers (back of the hand, not the palm side).
My question is if the other person used her elbow and knuckles to rub the anus (putting elbow and knuckles between butt cheeks and rubbing the anus). Is this considered zero risk like mutual masturbation, or is there ANY risk for std's, especially the skin to skin std's (HSV and HPV). I read that hand skin is "rough" and std's can't really stay on it, the skin on elbow and knuckles are not the same.
I have a itchy rash that itches first then welts up in lines then it goes away it usually occurs on my hands from the wrist area to my knuckles, my torso usually back area, and as a strong itchy tingling on the tip of my toes, but is not limited to these certain areas. I have had itching inside my ears, between my fingers, on my legs and feet.
You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
I’ve had enough cuts and scrapes on my knuckles before and during my infection with genital warts that perhaps the virus moved over onto the skin on my knuckles. What’s strange, of course, is that the wart has completely resolved on my genitals, but would have persisted on my hands for so long: it defines immunologic logic. Also, the skin on my knuckles looks like neither the genital wart (which was a small, hard, white lesion) nor like most pictures of common warts.
Every winter and spring since then, my hands develop a rash across my knuckles. The rash is very dry, scaly, and itchy. My hands will bleed and dirt will settle into the rash and the rash scars my hands. My fingers become flushed red. (The specialists I saw when I was 13 told me I have Raynauds). My finger joints hurt during this time. I also have hand tremors, but I don't know whether this is related. When I was 13 - 15, I was tested for all the autoimmune diseases.
