What Causes Itching Sensation And Swelling In Hands?
My hands became very itchy Monday afternoon and I scratched them a lot. Tuesday morning they were swollen and the back of my hands were red. My left hand is better than my right but is still swollen. It also is on my wrist but I did scratch that area as well

It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet or perlice lotion locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
