Q: what are the possible reasons for skin twiching or index finger twiching for 1-2 secs every hour or so?

: Twitching of one finger is usually harmless. Most often it's due to irritability ,strain or overuse from occupational or recreational use of your fingers from computer use,texting,video games,etc. The twitching should resolve. If not , consult a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
