HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such dark skin of hand in specific area may be due to sun, try to take care while you going out more sensitive skin can be affected very soon even with the little exposure, another you can cover the skin with cotton garment (Even better than using sunscreen) hope this information helps, take care.
