Dr. Thomas Klein answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Food allergy: When eating with your fingers if you develop itching and swelling of just the fingers it is possible that you are reacting to an ingredient and are having a contact allergy to the ingredient. Washing the hands should help in addition to steroid creams. If other areas begin to itch and or swell then see a doctor quickly.

I have a rash between my first finger and my thumb that appeared one morning. The rash looks like small red pimples. Even though it does itch, I can stand not to itch it. Hydrocortisone does reduce redness, swelling, itching. Rash is nowhere else. ?
