What could be the cause of the red spot on the hand of lady Macbeth?

Answer 1

Nothing actually happens with her hands. In the scene where Macbeth killed Duncan, Lady Macbeth's hands are covered in Duncan's blood. She sleep walk and keeps washing her hands to remove the blood that she imagines is sill on her hands.

Answer 2

The 'red spot' is referring to blood from Duncan (the king). At this point in the play, Lady Macbeth is schizophrenic, so she is having visions of the murder that took place before. She visualises blood on her hands, because she is mad. She is saying 'out damned spot!" because she wants to get rid of the blood - alas she cannot. Because the blood is a metaphor at this point for the sins and wrong she has done, and she can not get rid of the past.
