Hello, One of the possibilities that I can think of is a vascular abnormality or Raynaud’s disease. It is a vascular disorder that affects blood flow to the extremities which include the fingers, palms, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperature changes or stress. This causes redness, blueness or swelling of the skin. To confirm the diagnosis, I would suggest you to consult a vascular surgeon.

Nosebleeds can occur due to trauma, exposure to warm dry air more common in winter months, rhinitis, infections, vigorous blowing, foreign bodies and deviated nasal septum. Only a consultation with an ENT specialist can help diagnose. during an episode of nose bleeding: the patient must be made to sit upright, this reduces blood pressure in the veins of the nose. Further you should bend forward, this will avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate the stomach.

I developed swelling in my fingers in both hands this winter. It is perfectly symmetrical and located in the fatty tissue before my knuckle where my finger meets my hand. They are reddish plaque looking areas. The doctor referred to them as red, erythematous swelling (I included a picture for you to see). The first time I saw my general practitioner he dismissed it as water retention and told me to change my diet.

Other than that, it doesn't happen. With my son I never had swelling...but most of my pregnancy was in the winter with him, this is a different experience for me now.

About 3 weeks ago this all started, where my right foot was swollen and my right hand was completely swelled up. My left hand had some finger swelling. This went down in 24-48 hours. Then a couple of days later my right knee became so stiff over a few hour period, it became extremely difficult to drive my manual car home from work. It was a nightmare pushing the clutch in. I have also had random episodes of both my bum cheeks feeling very hard at the top.

I thought that a spider bit me on Saturday morning but the redness has not subsided, nor the minor itching. It looks like a mosquito bite but I know it's not - it's winter after all and I went to bed and woke up with the two bites on my middle and ring fingers of my right hand. It's in the same spot on both fingers but it's freaking me out. I had a very risky 30 seconds of possible unprotected sex a month ago with a man (and I'm a man), so I'm paranoid regarding HIV and other stds.

I am trying to find out why occasionally, my wrists, fingers and usually just 1 foot will get really achy and swell. Does anyone know if this could be the start of RA? I work out a lot and find that when I do a lot of push ups or yoga my wrists seem to get really sore, then progress to very sore and swollen. Anyone with any ideas on what I may be able to do to help this or stop it? I did have gout a few years ago but have not a reoccurance since.

I keep hearing that fibromyalgia is worse in winter, but I feel great in winter. I thought it might be heat and humidity (mind you, it doesn't get that hot here), but for example, yesterday was in the 60s and the air was bone-dry, yet my hands were all swollen. At its worst, the bottom of my feet feel like they are severely bruised and it is hard to walk and do anything with my hands. during the night, it feels like my legs and feet are filling with a painful fluid.

I am a mid 30's female with moderate finger and wrist pain for over 1.5 years. My physician and Rheumatologist has R/O RA, Lupus, Lyme and other autoimmune illness. Family physician believes that I have Fibromyalgia but Rheumatologist disagrees. I have no typical tender points. I am being treated successfully for depression w/ Cymbalta. I also take Ambien daily due to recent sleeping difficulties. This pain is very frustrating and takes strong prescription medication to relieve.

wow i get the same little bumps on the sides of my fingers i get them every year only in the winter time when it's cold and dry i'm also washing my hands a lot they seem to pop out more can't remember how long at least 10 years they are annoying sometimes i think it's from latex dishwashing gloves but i do dishes all year round and only get these in the winter...

He states that there is no pain but there is bruising and a smal amount of swelling in the area between the two fingers. Finally, my question....As a parent I am struggling with the DR and the 15 year old. He is unable to swim, unable to play video games, unable to play baseball and miserable. He has broken both pinkies in sports before and this type of extensive treatment has never been done. AM I WRONG...in going against medical advice and allowing him to use his hand WITHIN REASON?

I get large red bumps (not small pustules) on my fingers. They definitely seem to be heat-induced, as I never get them in winter. They had subsided for several years while I was pregnant and/or nursing my young children. They just recently started to reappear. They don't itch, but they do swell to the point that it can become painful, and sometimes they swell so much that bending my knuckles becomes difficult. They seem to be the worst when I first wake up. They NEVER open up or blister.

I am 23 weeks and I think about 19 weeks my hands and feet started to swell.... somedays are worse than others.... but its definitely something to check with the doc about....mine told me that my swelling was withing normal range.....

the vesicles appeared on my fingers (R 4th finger and L 3rd finger). after about a week they pop or I pop them, I have small open soars for a couple of days and skin becomes scaly and then sloughs off. This is a vicious cycle that happens about every three weeks or so. I do not know what to do. It started at the beginning of nursing school before I ever used latex gloves. I do not recall if it started before we used this hand dye or not.

For those who don't remember me , i am 37years old male suffering from Hashimoto's for last 3 years and suffering from many symptoms, i must admit lot better then before but again not feeling same way as before . I have been dealing with muscles weakness and arm finger/foot joint pain, although for last 2 times my TSH level is 1.54/1.84 with FT4 1.44/1.52. Because of those muscles/joint pain and fatigue smyptoms , i am going through lot of anxiety which is effecting my daily life lot .

It helped with the itching and burning but the swelling got worse. The swelling moved to my face and eyes. Day 3, I couldn't open my eyes which got better after couple of hours. Stopped taking Atarax after I read the side effects and allergic reaction that could happen are itching and swelling in the face. I am not sure if the swelling in my face was from this medicine or hair color.

It doesn't hurt, but it can get quite uncomfortable at times as I cant were my shoes. Sometimes, if I poke at the swelling, the hole of my finger will stay in the foot for a few seconds, which is a sign of water buildup. If my ankle swells, the whole foot swells as well. Any ideas? I'm tired of doctors playing guessing games.

In warm water like in a bathtub or pool, the thick skin on your fingers and toes tends to absorb water and swell. But this swelling doesn’t happen uniformly. Instead, the regions of skin that are most heavily anchored from below will remain lower than the more softened and swollen regions. The result – those temporary wrinkles on your fingers and toes.

I developed swelling in my fingers in both hands this winter. It is perfectly symmetrical and located in the fatty tissue before my knuckle where my finger meets my hand. They are reddish plaque looking areas. The doctor referred to them as red, erythematous swelling The first time I saw my general practitioner he dismissed it as water retention and told me to change my diet. The finger swelling persisted and a reddish mottled rash symmetrical radiated on both of my arms.

during the winter time when I was 13, my hands swelled up. during that first winter, my hands would swell and patches on my feet would swell everytime they were exposed to the cold. My hands and feet have not swollen since that first winter. Every winter and spring since then, my hands develop a rash across my knuckles. The rash is very dry, scaly, and itchy. My hands will bleed and dirt will settle into the rash and the rash scars my hands. My fingers become flushed red.

Hi, I also get extremely cold as well. I'm 16. In the winter my fingers swell up to 1 inch big and they turn bluish purple. This could be because your daughter has bad circulation- I do, or it could be a reaction to certain weather types of food. I always go purple in winter or the cold.

I can say that in the winter my hands turn purple, my rings swivel around my fingers. In the warm weather my hands swell, rings are tight, hands red and white blotches on my palms.(even after waking up in the a.m. with it.) I was told years ago that I have reynaurds, that is a constriction problem with blood vessels in the hands. I just wear my gloves in the winter and try to keep my hands up once in a while in the summer to reduce the swelling.

Try wearing shoes with better arch support and see if that helps. If not, you should see a doctor. Regarding your toes, does this just happen in winter? Do they just swell or do they change color or feel hot? Do your fingers ever act similarly?
