Possible Skin Conditions

Below you will find information about skin rashes affecting the back of the hand on children. Since this area of skin is typically exposed to the elements on a daily basis, it is at risk for bug bites and stings as well as sunburns. Different types of dermatitis can also be seen on the back of the hand, since it is in contact with soaps, lotions, and potentially irritating chemicals. Granuloma annulare and hand-foot-and-mouth disease are both found on the hands and the feet. Click a photo below for more information, including treatment your child's physician may prescribe.
