Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful rash and discoloration on hand. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , side effect , result of sensitivity to sunlight , eczema or psoriasis . I would suggest you to wash your hand with cold water and apply petroleum jelly on it , avoid any cosmetic product , prevent it from sun exposure or take anti histamine like benadryl . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory or antibiotics .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
