Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Painless Wrist-rashes That Look Similar To Burn Marks?
In the past 6 months, I ve had burn-like marks appear on my wrists. I ve not noticed them anywhere else in my body. They are not painful and do not peel or itch. They ve appear from what seems like nowhere and then go away in about a week s time, much like a natural 3rd degree burn would, though I ve not put anything on them, at least not intentionally. There have been about two maybe three marks. I am coming from a one-year sojourn in a third world country in living conditions where I was not able to wash myself properly or on a regular basis. I ve uploaded a pic of one of them. They vary in size and shape. What is this?
Seems blanching skin lesions involving subcutaneous space from capillaries involvement most likely. I would like to assess the issue once I get the copies of your uploaded photo image for better clinical co relation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
