My knuckles are sore, swollen, red and stiff. It started with what looked like a paronychia on my little finger. It then spread to my ring and middle fingers. I noticed a blister-like lesion on my left-middle finger but otherwise this hand does not hurt.
I also have red painful patches on the inside of my right hand fingers.
If someone recognises these symptoms by my description and by the accompanying photos, please get in touch. My doctor does not know what it is and has asked for blood tests for further examination.
Many thanks

All my blood tests came back normal and my fingers are looking and feeling much better!
My doctor thinks it might be chilblains...I just hope that whatever it is, I will not get it ever again! Thank you for your help!View Thread


I bought a new nail polish and applied it a couple of days before the first symptom appeared. Do you think this could cause such swelling and soreness?View Thread
