i have redish dots and red areas on both of the outsides of my hands.the more i stress out or panic, the more it gets worse. it's not psychosomatic. there's a tiny part that was bleeding on the side. it isnt itchy but it hurts and it's prickly. on some parts, there's considerably dark red lines. it looks like it's gonna start bleeding in some parts. i do have lots of anxiety, when i was a kid, i'd get horrible stomach aches when i had bad anxiety until i relaxed of course. i cant go to the doctor yet and i have to renew my insurance. im only 19. what do i do? this has been going on and off for a few weeks. my mom's an ER nurse but she says it's nothing. but it really hurts and it's really red and there's already a tiny cut or something with BLOOD! i dont understand why it's only on my HANDS & fingers. what's weird is i had a nightmare a few days ago of some evil entity drawing a cross in my right palm and telling me to choose between good and evil. it'd be creepy if it was connected.

The red dots sound like hives, which are common when someone is under a lot of stress or suffers from anxiety. Once your insurance is renewed, talk to you Family Practioner about referring you to a psychologist that specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. Also ask your doctor to prescribe whichever anti-anxiety medication she thinks suits your needs. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and with the help of medication and an excellent therapist, I feel a MILLION times better!!! Good luck to you & be patient with yourself. This is not going to go away overnight.

Take 50 mg of benedryl. That's two of the over the counter pills. Then go to a doctor when you can. Take the benedryl every 6 hours. It can make you very sleepy, so don't take it if you need to work. If you need to stay awake, try Claritin. Keep your hands clean and use lotion to combat dry, itchy, flaky skin. You had the dream because you are stressed about your hands. Do take the benedryl at night so you can sleep. Try the benedryl cream on your hands too. Good luck.

just stop for a second and breathe. you need to control the panic and thinking about this obviously isn't helping, your mum's a nurse, she'd know if there was something wrong. It's probably hives or something. you need to deal with your anxiety. you probably had the dream because your palm hurt, not the other way around. If you're really worried, ask your mum what she thinks it is. or go to the pharmacy and see if they have anything that can fix it. just calm down.

Ahh, just go to an emergancy room to have it looked at. Tell them you have no insurance. They will bill you for it later, but it shouldn't be much more than if you had insurance. Well, that is considering deductables. Also, you should mention your level of aniexty to them. Weekends are a bad time to ask to see a Psychitrist though. But in any case you should look into seeing one. But don't get hooked on Benzo's such as Valium, Xanex and Klonapin's. In the end you will thank yourself for having avoided them.

You need to see a doctor! You could be allergic to something that gives you a rash and makes you panicky. You have to discuss your worries and fears that bother you in your day-to day life. It may be a form of psoriasis which is hard to treat because it is not a disease but a symptom that shows up when something else is wrong. You do need help. Please stop worrying ,relax and see a dr..

It's likely a physica manifestation of your extreme anxiety. Take a benadryl and see how you feel.
