What Does A Raised Rash On The Thumb Indicate?

I have a reddened raised blotchy rash on the base of my left thumb. Warmer to the touch, not itchy. Area covers about 2 by 4 inches. I received BCG treatment for bladder cancer on Thursday morning, my third weekly treatment in a series of 6. Could this rash be a side effect? Also on elagard for treatment of prostate cancer. Might I be having a side effect from that medication? Would appreciate your thoughts.

Hello,

Most probably it will be a skin wart.

Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Nothing much to worry as it is an easily curable condition.

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