Does Eating Disorder Cause Rash?

hi, I noticed about a week ago that I have two small, kind of crescent shaped, I guess rashes o the back of my right hand. It looks almost as if I ve been burned. It does not itch or hurt and it has not spread. I have no idea what it is. I have been stressed lately and my body is not in the greatest shape due to my eating disorder (purging/restricting food) could that perhaps be the cause for the rash?

Hello
Welcome here.
I donot think there is any connection between eating disorder and rash over your hand.
It can be anything like an allergic reaction, an insect bite oran injury.
I would suggest you to visit a skin specialist for that.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
