Can cold weather make my fingers swell?

Not normally: Swelling of fingers on exposure to cold may be a manifestation of an underlying or latent disorder. If it occurs regularly, you should see your doctor.

Yes: Not all swelling (angioedema) is due to allergy. While there are many causes of swelling, one is a type of swelling disorder called cold urticaria, which can result in hives or swelling due to cold exposure.
