What conditions can cause rashes on the palm and wrist? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

From the photo, the underlying conditions causing the rash is varied and can range between several reasons. They include:

  • Hand eczema
  • Drug reactions
  • Vasculitis
  • Syphilis

Having said that, it is best that you visit a dermatologist so that he/she may conduct a proper assessment. From there, a good history and proper assessment can be made to determine what is the underlying cause of your rashes.

A skin biopsy may also be required to aid in the diagnosis of the skin condition you might have. This procedure involves a tiny sample of skin to be removed. It will then be sent over to the laboratory for further analysis.
