My left palm near middle and ring finger showed up with swollen red lines that follow the normal lines you see on your hand . Now I can t make a fist or straighten my fingers without pain. No physical activity, no outside yesterday and no cleaning yesterday, not sure what to make of it. Tried taking Benadryl , used neosporin and eucerin with no relief

Its quite possible that you might have developed an infection of you hand and may need a course of antibiotics to resolve it. It is important that you see a dcotor immediately as delaying may cause spread of the infection. There are other causes also which may cause this and it s better if you see a doctor who can examine and do some tests and start appropriate treatment.
