Suggest Remedy For Itchy Knuckles Post Finger Injury
About 90 days ago I pretty deeply cut myself while opening a can between my index & middle finger. I treated it with neosporin & bandages. The cut has closed and obviously there is a scar, but my middle finger knuckle has since turned red/purple and itchy. Should I have this looked at?

Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
this could be due to release of allergen chemicals by the inflammatory cells that helped the healing process. you can take tablet allegra (Fexofenadine Hydrochloride) 180 mg once a day for 2-3 days. Or tablet chlorphenalamine maleate 25mg at night.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
