Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Thanks for your query . There can be varity of reasons for burning pimples on hand or palm like dyshidrotic eczema ,insect bite or herpectic whitlow. As these pimples are burning and on the corner of palm ,the probable cause of these pimples is herpetic whitlow .
It is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus . It is very contagious so try to avoid contact with others , do not share their things , try to wear gloves and don't pick pimples .
I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination and to rule out other condition . Doctor may order skin tests or viral culture test for proper diagnosis . He/she may prescribe oral/topical antiviral like acyclovir or valacyclovir .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
