Why do I have white dots on my hands?

Patient's Query

I got white small dots on hands

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Small white dots on your hands can be caused by several factors, including dry skin, eczema, or even fungal infections. It’s important to observe if there are any other changes, such as itching or peeling. Keeping the skin moisturized and avoiding harsh soaps may help. Over-the-counter creams can also provide relief. However, for a precise diagnosis and tailored treatment, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can better assess your symptoms and suggest effective options.

I am a 21 year old male guy who has been taking medications since last 3-4 years for my acne treatment. It has been effective too but every summer it occurs back. I just wanted to know does laser treatment works for acne prone skin?

Male | 21

Hi. Acne is a recurrent problem especially in youth. You can go for a course of Retiniods for Almost complete remission from acne. But first you need to get some blood tests as advised by a certified dermatologist before starting the course. You need to be monitored by dermatologist during the course. 

Coming to your Question about Laser , if you are asking does laser helps in acne ? No. Laser is used to treat Acne scars  not acne itself. Chemical Peels can be used for Quick and effective treatment of acne.

Male | 18

It seems you have several health issues. All these might be connected with different things. The reason for the bad smell on the skin may be due to sweat or bacteria. Dry skin or a fungus can cause dandruff. Cavity comes from eating sugary food. Back pain could come from bad posture; stomach trouble could be caused by what you eat or stress. Also having an appendix problem may make it hurt when you use the toilet.

Given the complexity of the case and the various symptoms described, the patient must consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management. The dermatologist can conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying cause of the recurring brown and black spots, scrotal ulcers, HPV-related carcinoma, and other symptoms.

Male 52..lately i have this sour and white toungue..scrap it off..it gone..but will come back again..im a smoker and drinker..what causes this..is it alcohol or smoking or caffiene

Male | 52

It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

I am 18 years old female and I am suffering from cystic acne since past few years. I tried everything possible.. went to dermatologist but nothing worked.... What should I do now ?

Female | 18

Cystic acne at the age 0f 18 years indicates underlying hormonal cause like PCOS, insulin resistance etc. this can be evaluated by certain blood tests and scans. Please consult an experienced dermatologist for the same. Intra lesional triamcinolone injections, oral retinoids, oral contraceptive pills,  etc may be recommended once the cause is established by the Dermatologist. Proper dosing and adequate medication course is needed for satisfactory results in severe acne forms like cystic acne.

Female | 18

You might have contracted a fungal infection called ringworm on your privates. Ringworm can be distinguished as a red itchy patch on the skin, which can develop into a dark-colored patch. Due to a fungus, it is caused. Use antifungal cream or powder to get it to go away. Remember to keep the area away from any dirt, moisture, and sweat. Please do not share the bath towels or clothes with anyone as this will help you stay safe from the infections.
