A member asked:

What causes sudden heated blush and swelling of various areas of the hand, knuckles, and fingers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: That sounds like urticaria, but is hard to tell by description only. Urticaria is a reaction to various things and is usually itchy. Antihistamines work the best, but if worsening or any facial swelling or difficulty breathing please see a physician, and it's best to go right to the er if that seems to be happening. We only figure out what causes it 25% of the time. Check online for pictures.
