A member asked:
My middle fingertip was swelling out of no where and now it's itching and also spreading to other fingertips. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: You could have a bacterial infection or possibly a skin allergic reaction (think poison ivy). Because it is spreading, get to your family physician ASAP before it gets worse.
