I started notice my hand is swelling and getting itchy in mid December. No bumps or rashes or fluid but some red spots too.

No pain and normal movements.

It got more uncomfortable so I got a GP telephone appt last week - sent some pics and they don’t know what it could be but prescribed antibiotics and a cream.

Advised that if does not get better within 2 weeks to try and see a doctor in person but I don’t want to wait that long.
My daughter said the difference between both hands are shocking.

I’m not using any new products and the symptoms are on my hand only.

Don’t wanna go anywhere without gloves - getting scared.

Any ideas?

Definitely Chilblains, I had exactly this a few years ago on one hand, same swelling and itchiness, investigated by GP and even referred to rheumatology ( I have other autoimmune problems) but turned out to be chilblains. Went away after about a month or so.
