Could a bite on wrist cause hand to swell between thumb & forefinger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A bite on the wrist can cause some swelling into the fingers as well as up the arm. If you are not sure that this is a simple mosquito bite and the swelling is getting worse, it could be an infection. Get it checked out.
