What Could Puffiness And Itching In Hands After Doing Weights Indicate?

Hi. I have a slight puffiness on the heel of my palms and thumbs. I'm not experiencing any pain, just a little itchiness and a slightly reduced ability to feel. The most notable event I can identify is that I've noticed it begin around the time I started lifting weights. Thanks!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some allergy giving rise this problem.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
