    It could be a number of things that caused this to happen. You may have come into contact with something or have some kind of vitamin or mineral deficiency. Also, you could have a sun burn, fungus infection, an allergic reaction to something, or you could have some kind of skin disease like eczema or psoriasis. Keep an eye on it and if it does not improve in about a week, go see a doctor.

      Yes, it's possible you may have touched something you're allergic to (contact dermatitis). It could be at your job or working around where you stay. It could even be the  staring wheel of a car, your phone. You'll need to retrace what you're doing.

    Although your picture still needs to be closer and with flash to actually see, I believe it to be a contact dermatitis reaction to microscopic fiberglass particles, like myself. image imageThe white dots in the second picture are the early stages of visible formation. These circles start off microscopic before they eventually get large enough to be seen. For my contact, the area in which they appear is about 3 weeks after initial exposure/contact. These are more visible when hands are dry, and mine are more highlighted because of powder in the gloves I was just wearing. (don't have a talc allergy)
