What Do Red And Itchy Spots Between The Knuckles Indicate?

I have some reddish spots tightly patterned in the space in between my knuckles they itch not constantly but it looks to be spreading up my hand. I do work in a kitchen and I am concerned for customers. I wear vinyl gloves and have been for about 8 months and this just occurred, what is this and what can I do to make it stop.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of red and itchy spots between knuckles which seems to be due to allergic, infectious and inflammatory causes. Without complete examination in person it will be difficult to give exact picture. However I would suggest you to avoid touching or pricking these red spots and apply aloe vera gel on them. Cover your skin while going out. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antihistamine, corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short. For now apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
