Question 1

what does it mean when your ring finger itches under the band?

Accepted Answer

Sounds: Suspicious, because gold allergies are rare, but nickel is a common cause of allergies. Maybe there can be contaminants trapped, so soak it in a ring cleaner, and have him wash carefully. Look for redness. Allergy, infection and 7 year itch all possibilities.

Question 2

vaginal lip on left side feels like a hard swollen vein and itches bad i want to rub it between my fingers to get relief then it hurts is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Varicose vein?: You will need to see a doctor for an exam to determine the cause. It sounds like it might be a varicose vein though. People think of these as only happening on the legs. The labia is actually a common spot for them. See a doctor and try not to mash on it.

burned left middle finger a week ago w/hot glue. has thick scabs w/sunk in places covers almost whole finger . really red swollen w/itchy bumps around finger also even though there is nothing on hand it hurts, itches &swollen at knuckles what to do?

Accepted Answer

Hand burn : With the entire finger being burned and it causing problems for this period of time it would be recommended that you see your primary doctor to have the hand examined for further management.

Question 4

good morning i have small glands forming on my right finger it havent affected my writing yet but it itches and sometimes pain.is there perhaps a medication i can purchase to stop the glands from forming?

Accepted Answer

Nodes: If these knob like structures are located on either side of the joint just under the fingernail, these are probably Heberden's nodes which are tiny bony spurs indicative of( wear and tear) osteoarthritis of that joint. These tend to run in families. An anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen may reduce pain in the affected joint. These nodes may form on other fingers in the future

Question 5

Maybe: Sounds like seborrheic dermatitis...A for ma inflammatory dandruff.
Discuss this with your dermatologist who can give you very effective treatments.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Rash: This rash would likely need to be examined and more history obtained  to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Question 8

Urticaria: Check with your doctor or Dermatologist  to see if you have scabies, mites or lice.
 If not you can try out OTC Caladryl lotion four times daily.

Many things: It could be simply dry skin, or environmental things like allergies or exposures. Is there a rash? Do you take medications? Are you otherwise healthy? If this has been going on for a while you should see a doctor to make sure routine blood tests are normal.
