Hello, my daughter has a red bruise-like spot on her palm. It started off the size of a pin and over the last couple days, has increased in size to about the size of a fifty cent piece. It is warm to the touch and she says it burns slightly and is very heat sensitive. What could this be?
Your daughter is having bruise like lesion on palm and that is burning. Most probable diagnosis would be vasculitis. There may be some cause like minor trauma, bacterial infection anywhere in body,drugs..etc short couse of steroid in tappering dose,antibiotics and immunomdulator like levamisole may be given. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Local application of mild steroid cream would be of great help. I hope you got my answer.
