Suggest Treatment For Lumps Behind Palm And Fingers

Posted on Tue, 3 Nov 2015

Question: I had a bite on the Back of my right hand 5 or 6 weeks ago, it was itchy at the time within days there had been small lumps forming and now cover 1/2 of the back of my hand and more starting to come up on my fingers (pointer and middle) and thumb the itching has grown to my fingers and up to my elbow and the lumps seam to be heading that way as well. I have been using "Hydrocortision acetate cream" on it with no result , seen a doctor and then used "Novasone" Mometasone Furoate 1mlg cream on it and again no result. It feels like there is something moving under my skin and its getting not bigger as one thing ? But as multiplying, The back of my hand did become dark, like a bruise but not ike one and it was gone inside 12 hours but the itching and lumps are still there,, and i have have never had lumps on my hands ever ,,? Any Ideas Please

Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, there are following possibilities for your symptoms :
1 ) Urticaria- it is an allergic condition characterised by red colored itchy transient eruptions over body. It can be caused by allergy to recent infection, any food, seasonal change, drugs, pollen grains etc.
2) Allergic contact dermatitis - it is characterised by red colored itchy rash that may be precipitated by anything in contact like metal, new clothing, deodrant, any bite etc.
kindly upload images so that I can actually visualize the rash and advise you to my best.
