This could be anything like vitiligo. But I need to confirm it by seeing.

White colored dots or patches on your hands that are gradually increasing in size could point to a few potential conditions. One common cause is vitiligo, a condition where you lose pigmentation in the skin, leading to white patches. Another possibility might be tinea versicolor, a fungal infection that can cause light patches on the skin, although it usually results in more scaling. Less likely, but still possible, are conditions like eczema or psoriasis that can also discolor the skin. The maroon patches under your arms might suggest another distinct problem, like a fungal infection known as candida, or perhaps a reaction to deodorants or friction from clothing. These mixed symptoms could involve different diagnoses, so it’s key to consider them separately and together. It’s crucial to get a dermatologist or a healthcare provider involved for a more precise diagnosis, especially since such symptoms can vary widely from person to person. They might perform a skin exam or even a skin biopsy if necessary to better understand what’s happening.

In the meantime, avoid any self-medications like bleaching creams or antifungals without professional advice, as it could exacerbate the problem. Use mild soaps and emollients, and keep that area moisturized to aid any skin irritation. Observe if any new products or routines were initiated around the time you first noticed the patches, as this might hint towards potential irritants or allergens. If the condition becomes itchy, painful, or spreads quickly, prioritizing a medical appointment should be the next step. If symptoms indicate a possibility of systemic illness or other red flags like fever, fatigue, or drastic skin changes, seek medical care promptly.
