What Causes Itchy Rashes, Swelling With Bumps On Hand For Every 3 Months?

Hi, I have been to different doctors about a rash that appears on my hand every 3 months. I starts out as a few bumps and grows to bigger bumps that will sink in slightly and merge together. It itches, burns, and hurts occasionally. After it forms into a patch it is smooth and swells. It will last on my hand for almost 2 weeks until it stops growing and itching. It take about 3 to 4 weeks until it is completely gone to where you can not tell that it was even there.

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

This may be due to allergy called urticaria. This kind of allergy can be due to number of reasons like infection, dust, food, drugs.

But it lasts for few days and the lesions resolve within few days.
So, i need to see the pic of the lesions so that i can actually make a diagnosis or i will suggest you to visit your doctor so that proper examination can be done and correct treatment can be initiated.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion.
Good Luck.
