Have Itchy White Lumps On Back Of Left Hand. Left Arm Is Tingling, Weak An Swollen. Reason?

Weird white lumps appear on back of my left hand, itch, stay for a bit then go down, thing is my doctor says this could be part of a virus, but my left arm has been tingling and felt weak all day, and left hand is slightly swollen and paler than my right. He also said my gland under my armpit would be enlarged too. Just worried something else is happening!

This could be secondary to a viral infection of the nerves ,Herpes Zoster or shingles.You would probably need a antiviral drug Acyclovir orally along with other medication for symptomatic relief.Your doctor can guide you further after confirming the diagnosis.
