Question: Hello. I noticed an odd red streak on palm of hand, above wrist on side of thumb. Am a little concerned it might be infection but did not cut or scratch myself there. Will attach a pic.
Brief Answer:
Upload the pictures and provide additional information
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and the picture.
I am not able to appreciate that well in the pictures, it will be better if you can upload the picture encircling the affected part.
Presently I would suggest you not to touch it, wash it with cool water with antiseptic soap. And apply calamine lotion with alovera to it.
It might be due to bumping your hand to some object unknowingly.
Does it hurt? Is there any irching? Is your wrist movement affected by it?
Kindly get back to us with picture and additional information.
Take care.

It dies not hurt, itch or affect my wrist movement.
I do not know how to circle in the photo. But to help you in locating it, look at the upper edge of the shelf in the background. The line is parallel wuth the shelf, starting from the right.
The line slopes downward to the left, starting from the top edge of the shelf/counter in the background.
