Sir, I noticed red spots on my palms yesterday, and today they have spread to my feet. Could you please help me understand what the problem might be and its cause? I am awaiting my blood test report, but these spots have spread a lot over the past two days. Apart from medical treatment, what additional precautions should I take at home until I get my report? Kindly help

Could be viral rash, allergic reaction, or vasculitis. Avoid scratching, apply soothing lotion (calamine), stay hydrated. If fever or itching worsens, see a doctor. Meanwhile, take just one cetrizine tablet before sleep.
