Brief Answer:
Discoid eczema or fixed drug eruption, Cortisone cream, antihistamine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems to be either a patch of discoid eczema or fixed drug eruption which is a reaction to a drug or a food item.
Have you taken any new medicine in the past few days?
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with the application of a moisturizing cream on the entire hand 2-3 times during the day.
If burning persists, take a, antihistamine like tablet Cetrizine once daily at bed time for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
