Does Tiny Scars On Hand Resulting From Stress Requires Attention?

Hello, I have had a small rash on my left hand only (on the back) for about 3 weeks now. It is not itchy or irritable in any way, and it looks quite like tiny scars. They appeared at a time of stress in my life, and although the stressfactor is gone, the little 'scars' are not. Should I be worried?

Hello
I think you should not worry.
If the scars not problematic, there is no need to worry.
Anyhow, i would advise you to get blood vitamin b12 levels tested.
I have seen some patients of stress induced anxiety which have vitamin b12 deficiency and have developed white patches over body.
Please Get the test done to confirm this.
Thanks
