Itchy fingers and hands?!


Question:

Itchy fingers and hands?

The skin right below my thumb on my left hand is soooo itchy. Especially when I wake up. The itchiness will subside, but my thumb is stiff, like it feels like its almost swelled, (doesn't look it), its starting a little on my right hand too, (same spot). Last week not sure if related, started with feeling like my lip had a cold sore (it didn't), then the left half of my face swelled a little, then these little blisters formed between my right middle finger and pinky. Then same fingers on my left hand! Then the itchiness started on my hand under my thumb! Whats going on!
I haven't touched anything different that I know.


Answers:

Sounds like you may have scabies. They generally begin on the hands. Scabies are small mites that burrow under the skin. Are the little blisters in a line? Please try not to scratch, as this can spread them. Go to the doctor and get a proper diagnosis. They can prescribe lotion to kill them, if that's what it is.
