Hi all

Ive had a weird rash on my big toe for the past few weeks. its lots of little bumps in my toe, and the skin is a bit flaky

I've noticed in the past few days that the bumps are showing up on the palms of my hands, and I'm noticing more every day

Does anyone know where I should go for a diagnosis? Should I go to my GP or can I go direct to a dermatologist ?

Thanks in advance

You should go to your GP first, a dermatologist will only see you upon referral from a GP. GPs deal with many common skin conditions and they will probably only refer you on for further investigation if it doesn't respond to their treatment.
