What Causes Itching,burning And Swelling On Hand?

few months ago I stomped my feet down from sitting position then ran after a child moments later leg started itching then burning then swelled for approx30 min then bruised and sensitive for days. today I barley rubbed my hand against washer door (top of hand along knuckle part of index finger) and it too, itched, burning, (felt as if my vien had burst) swelled and is now brusied. Any clues as to what this could be caused from? happens a lot if I smack my hands or fingers on anything to hard ( sometimes clapping is too hard too)

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.
Get your platelet levels, bleeding and clotting time checked.
Sometimes spontaneous bruising might be associated with dangerous systemic conditions.
I suggest you to get a thorough check up done.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,
you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
