What Causes Painful Red Rashes On Hands?
Hi, out of nowhere a section on the top of my hand was red rash and it burned (like a sun burn) then the burning went away, then a couple small blisters appeared and went away in a day now its pealing in small sections. I wasn t in the sun. Thoughts? Thank you.

Hi,
It may be irritant contact dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Antihistaminics like levocetirizine may be taken to relieve itching. If needed, oral steroid in tapering dose may be considered. Apply mild steroid cream with antibiotic.
Avoid soap bath. Avoid contact with suspected irritants.
Thanks.
