Hi Everyone, I know I should probably have posted this in Health but I know from cb, you generally get responses quicker and I'm a bit anxious.

A week or so ago I posted a question re chilli burn, In this thread I passed comment that I had 3 blotchy marks on my hand from what I thought was the chilli, however I later realised I had the marks on my hand beforehand.

Initially I thought this was just dry skin so I started using moisturiser more on my hands (Boots Vitamin e cream, vaseline creams, dermovate, hemp) but none of these have gotten rid of it. The past few days it has gotten quite itchy and red and regardless of what creams I use, It will not fade.
The marks are much darker in pigment to my own skin, they look like a dark tan colour it is pink in parts. It is quite unsightly and I really want it to go away. I don't know what has caused it, I haven't changed detergent or my diet so I am at such a loss. My mam said the pink type part looks like a burn but I haven't burned myself so I am at such a loss..

Do any of you know what this could be? And how i can get rid of it??

Apologies again for posting in cb. xx

suzy - are you on the contraceptive pill?

My skin on my face when I've been in the sun develops a darker tan patchy area.. its not red or sore - but was quite unsightly... I heard it was due to the oestrogen in the pill - which makes skin react that way sometimes..

I am Nosha but I've never had this before...
Probably just my deteriorating eyesight.

I'm occasionally suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, but that tends to be red & itchy rather than dark brown. Can't help but think guesses made here can be no more than that. Could be a lot of things I'd bet.
Think you should make an appointment with your doc supersuezy if you're worried. :o)

Think I will Cutetoni to be honest, my mam said she's quite worried about it becuase it looks sore..He's finished for today so Monday is going to have to do for now..I feel really daft, I just went and mashed up some cucumber to put on it thinking it may cool it but nothing..haha

Hi suezy, if you're out and about tomorrow, try and get some of this. I use it all the time and it's excellent stuff. Worth a try anyway.
