A member asked:

My middle fingers and thumbs rub together constantly when not moving, and making them in deformed shapes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?involuntary: If this bilateral rubbing of finger and thumb is not voluntary such as seen in a nervous habit, it could be a sign of Parkinson's disease. In that case a neurologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

A member asked:

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. ?
