Suggest Treatment For Redness And Pain In Finger
Question: I felt like I had burned the outer side of my right hand today, and noticed a fairly large red, warm blotch right under my pinkie finger. This has happened in the past, but I have never hit it, cut it, etc. when it suddenly appears.
No more questions, just will wait for results. Thank you!

The redness is almost gone, but I did look up peripheral neuropathy. Since I do tend towards low or high blood sugar, I have a glucometer, and tested my blood sugar on Saturday when I got out of bed in the morning. Since it was 80, I don't think it's a blood sugar issue. Is there another way to get this condition?
