Does anyone know what these spots are please?

They come and go and have happened about once a week since after lockdown started. No trigger. Sudocrem overnight seems to sort them out but it would be great to know what's going on because it seems a trivial thing to take to a GP.

Hi, I just want to say I'm certainly not a medical expert but if you type into Google images 'Kawasaki disease in adults' and look at the images the rash seems to be similar. Might be worth a look.

I meant to add it's the images of hands that you want to be looking at.

I've looked and you're right. It does look the same but he has no other symptoms and Sudocrem sees it off. As an experiment I'll suggest just putting it on one hand tonight.

Are they itchy and raised?

As a similar to Kawasaki disease is showing in children with covid. I would seek medical advice rather than mums net :)

Not itchy and not raised. He's an adult so he'll need to make his own arrangements about medical advice.

The rash related to Kawasaki’s was described as being like sunburn so not little dots. Has he been gardening?

Yes it could be plant sap that reacts in the sun. I’d see go tbh

Yes he's been gardening on and off so it could be that.

Send pics to gp, but I’d be thinking it was from gardening.

Could it be contact dermatitis due to frequent hand washing ?
Also lots of plants ( spurge etc) can cause a rash like this.

I think sending pics might be a good idea. I'll suggest he does that. Thanks 😊

Looks like it might be pompholyx eczema to me.

I thought pompholyx too but mine itches like buggery

Random thought - does he get hayfever? Has he been handling grass?
Sitting on grass used to give me similar, itchy legs when we had lessons outside in the heat at school. And awful hayfever in the days before decent meds were invented.

Yes his hay fever has been really bad this year. Hmmm. Interesting.

Does it get better if he takes an antihistamine?

Could be a general virus

But you may wish to get checked out especially if other symptoms/unwell

I get pompylyx with my hay fever , itchy little buggers they are

pompholyx eczema. Itchy little bastards!
