A member asked:
Hi, i have had the swelling on the back of hand not palm for 3 days now, and it itches occasionally ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand swelling: Hand swelling not due to injury or an insect bite and with associated itching suggests angioedema which is an allergic reaction. However this type of swelling generally subsides after 24 hours or so. For this reason I feel an insect bite is more likely in your case. If the hand swelling persists, becomes painful or develops redness, have a physician examine you for diagnosis and treatment.
