Could Being In Cold Cause Brownish Yellow Spots On Hand?

I woke up one day and had brownish yellowish spots on my hand. There s an inch maybe of the spot on my left palm and small but dark spots on my two fingers on my right hand. There s a spot that shows up and disappears. I have been in the cold for a long time and I ve read someone reply that it may be because of the cold but I m not sure and I m scared. Please help me!

Good day and thanks for your question. You are likely to be having what is called Cold urticaria. But from your description its a mild one. You should not stay in cold for too long. If the spots itches you then take Loratadine 10mg daily.
Hope it helps.
