itchy fingers and hands?

Question

The skin right below my thumb on my left hand is soooo itchy. Especially when I wake up. The itchiness will subside, but my thumb is stiff, like it feels like its almost swelled, (doesn't look it), its starting a little on my right hand too, (same spot). Last week not sure if related, started with feeling like my lip had a cold sore (it didn't), then the left half of my face swelled a little, then these little blisters formed between my right middle finger and pinky. Then same fingers on my left hand! Then the itchiness started on my hand under my thumb! Whats going on!
I haven't touched anything different that I know.

Answer 1

Sounds like you may have scabies. They generally begin on the hands. Scabies are small mites that burrow under the skin. Are the little blisters in a line? Please try not to scratch, as this can spread them. Go to the doctor and get a proper diagnosis. They can prescribe lotion to kill them, if that's what it is.

Answer 2

that sounds to me of an internal intoxication, try to see if you are allergic of something, see what you eat, do you eat something often or did you went to eat to a restaurant , if so you may have an allergic reaction or you are experiencing an intoxication you will like to go to the doctor if so and explain what your sintoms are they will then run a blood test to find out if its intoxication

Answer 3

you must be allergic to something & you are probably not aware of it. consult a dermatologist immediately & in the meantime apply some soothing antiseptic cream or lotion in the scratchy areas & try not to scratch!!!

Answer 4

If you've started any new meds, herbs, etc., you could be having an allergic reaction. Your best bet is to see your doc about it.
