Hiya and thanks for your reply, is this a common symptom of scleroderma or sclerosis?

Looks like a form of dermatitis. How long has it been there? Was the onset gradual and did the lesion grow over time or did it just appear? Is it itchy? Have you recently changed soap/ started washing your hands more often? It could be fungal if itchy so an over the counter anti fungal cream can be a good place to start. If it’s not fungal the lesion will probably not change much with treatment but the cream will offer it some moisturisation.
