What Causes Recurring Bumps And Swelling The Base Of The Hand?
I ve had edema at the fleshy part of my hand at the base of my hand - on and off for over a year. Sometimes there s a painful lump that eventually goes away. Today I noticed 4 reddened bumps at the same area that s been tender and edematous. What could they be?
It would be of help if you give us information about any other associated symptoms like pain abdomen, diarrhea or constipation, your age and any family history of any similar kind of problem. If there are such symptoms, you need to visit a gastroenterologist for further assistance.
Hope this suggestion helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
