Hi, second time I ve had prickly really itchy rash on top of my hands. Then third day (today) my hands are swelling at the knuckles. I was diagnosed with Still s disease in 2005. I get gout (have had two flare-ups). I suspect perhaps I m allergic to Aleve as have taken two this week. Last year I tried it and had my face swell. I use an anti-itch cream and try not to scratch! But wonder, too, if could be rheumatoid arthritis?
