What Causes Sudden Itching And Redness On The Hand?
I ve been having an issue with my hands the past few weeks...all of a sudden I can feel like an itch, smal under the skin surface gets red. It just starts appearing out of no where, then fades away in about 15-30 minutes. I have been on prednisone & methotrexate for past 2 months for RA, but dr told me this is not from it.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis.
I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
I also suggest using Cetirizine to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
