Dark Brown Patches on Palms
15 days Back I noticed an small brown patch or rash on my right hand thumb finger. I started to apply coconut oil and moisturizing cream on that area but still it not reducing.
It is slowly spreading in my index finger as well and it is itching as well.
What could be the problem?

This could be contact dermatitis to some irritant or allergen. This needs detail history taking. Try to avoid harsh soaps, detergent as much as possible. Apply good moisture after everytime you wash your hands.
