Red spots on the hands. Why do they arise?

Occurrence on hands red spots can for several reasons. It should be said that not always provoking factors are harmless. In this regard, experts recommend that you take a closer look at the condition of the skin on your hands and notice everything, even minor changes. So you can prevent the development of a serious ailment.

Red spots on the hands are often the result of the reaction of the skin to a temperature drop. This phenomenon often occurs in the winter, when entering the street without gloves (or in gloves, but with too much frost). In addition, the skin can react so to contact with cold water. In such cases, the main thing is not to overcool your hands to the level of damage to small-calibrated vessels. Otherwise, later the fingertips may lose sensitivity due to impaired blood supply.

When supercooling, you should rub your hands until you feel a slight tingling sensation. This is a sign of the restoration of blood circulation. When rubbing it is recommended to use a cream containing essential oils of fir or eucalyptus.

Red spots on the hands may be the result of exposure and increased temperature. In this case, we are not talking about burns of various degrees. Red spots on the hands often occur as a result of overheating. In this case, this reaction is due to the expansion of blood vessels and the flow of blood to the surface of the skin. This condition can develop with severe long-term work in rubber gloves. To the skin in this case there is no air, which causes overheating. In addition, redness can occur when taking sunbathing or from prolonged stay in hot water. If this condition occurs, gradual cooling of the hands is recommended. In order to avoid rupture of the vessels, in no case should they be immersed in cold water or snow. Cooling should be done gently. The most gentle way at the same time is the immersion of the palms in a cool bath. It is recommended to add mint infusion and sea salt. Thus, you can not only eliminate red spots on your hands, but also restore the number of nutrients lost in the process of overheating. After this procedure, you should rub (with smooth massage movements) a moisturizing soothing.

It should be noted that such changes have a very unfavorable effect on the condition of the skin. Except, of course, are the contrasting trays. They, on the contrary, contribute significantly to the restoration of blood supply and metabolic processes in the skin.

Red spots on the hand can also occur as a result of more serious causes. These include, in particular, inflammatory diseases.

Redness on the skin, accompanied by itching and swelling, may indicate an allergic reaction. In this case, you need to contact a dermatologist. After revealing the allergen, it is necessary to exclude contact with it afterwards. Frequent irritants are hygiene products, washing powders, as well as certain food products and, in some cases, medicines. If the cause is known, then remove the itch and relieve the condition at home will help mask from rice (can be from ordinary) starch and chamomile infusion. To prepare the product, you need to mix a lot, resembling sour cream, to add a few drops of lavender essential oil.

The cause of redness may be skin disease (lichen, for example). In this case, you should not choose the treatment yourself, because the use, for example, of lotions significantly aggravates the situation. In the absence of timely and competent therapy, lichen can affect fairly large areas of the body.
