What Causes Stinging Red Swelling Around Vein Between Thumb And Finger?
Yes, I had a vein to blow between my thumb and second finger. This happens every 9-10 months and often after using my hand a lot in repetitive motion or holding something heavy. It starts out as a sting, turns red, and then stings/throbs for hours and swells. A blister then forms on my hand and it goes away after a couple of weeks. Should I be seeing a Dr. about this?

Hi
this sounds like an overuse reaction. As long as you know that it comes after a long period of handling heavy objects and it occurs on the pressure areas of your hand you can try wearing protective gloves when handling heavy objects for a long time and see if this help prevent your condition
