anyone had this?

I may have posted this before on NRAS but wondered if anyone else gets this on their hands?

It's tiny little red/purple freckles that come up quite quickly and then fade over a few hours.

I have shown rheumatologist.

Just suddenly came up while I was online. It happens every few weeks and I have no idea what causes it. Often happens on both hands but today just the right.

I have not had this in my hands before. They look like what are called petechiae. It is when the small capillaries leak blood a tiny bit into the surrounding tissue and small dots of redness appear. These can sometimes be absorbed quickly back into the body whcih can take a day or a couple. When this happens have you had pressure on that site or bumped the hand?

Hi - no, it's always totally spontaneous and always in exactly the same place on both hands - although not always at the same time.

It starts down so the side of my wrist and down my thumb and then across the back of my hands.

Weird. 🙂

That is unusual that it appears on both sides at the same time? Definitely ask your rheumatologist what she/he thinks.
