 Posted: 07/17/06 - 01:35 Post subject: Red itchy palms. Swollen hands and bottom lip throat |
  |
|
| I am 24 and i just noticed this yesterday morning. My hands feel stiff as if swollen. Like they have too much blood in them. Also they are very itchy and I'm trying to resist scratching cause when I do they burn. It seems also to be worse in my left hand than my right. Today when I woke up they seemed a little worse but I also noticed that my lips (mostly the bottom one) were also swollen. When I put any pressure on my lips they burn in pretty much the same way as my hands and it flows into my mouth. Also my throat is sore and seems swollen, as it hurts to swallow and feels contricted. The rear part of my tounge also feels sore. Can anyone give any suggestions about what's going on. this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance |

| It might be lung cancer. Better get it checked. |

My son has had similar symptoms. He has been diagnosed with Angio-odema. It is apparently an allergy. He is undergoing many tests to try to identify the trigger. I would be very interested to know how you are. Try taking an anti-histamine. Good luck, Halley. |

Having a similar problem... thinking it is an allergy... I'm allergic for sure to Milk, Codfish, Orange Juice, and Peanuts... but am eliminating the possible allergens one at a time best as I can... had some trail mix yesterday and my hands ballooned up to where I could barely close them... and itched like crazy... Trail mix had in it.. Almonds, Walnuts, Dried Banana, Dried Pineapple, and Dried Payaya... probably had some sulfer dioxide in it as well as a preservative...
I went for massage last week and the masseuse pressed on my feet where the kidney reflex point is located and that was sore as heck... so I was worried that the edema/ swelling could be kidney related but I'm thinking more allergy... since it comes and goes depending on how careful I am with what i eat... Good luck... Joseph |

| It sounds like you may have a Latex allergy. Check into it. It can be life threatening. D. |

I ate trail mix yesterday. Within hours my left hand felt like something was pressing into it and hurting. then within 30 minutes my right. My left had was red, then my right, the I noticed all parts of my body where it had been pressed against other parts e.g. thighs, underarms, under breasts were all red. My hands got hot and burning. Touvhning them itched. By next morning my feet had a rash. My hands are swollen.
I am not allergic to any food. Certainly not the main ingredients fo trail mix yet I am certain it was it. So must have been something additive in it. |

|
|
Eating salty peanuts have in the past caused me to break out in itchy hives on my arms, back, breast and buttocks but I have never had itchy, scratchy swollen hands and lips.
Prior to the holidays my daily diet consisted primarily of a cup of morning coffee or one cappuccino with a granola bar. I would eat stir fry chicken, veggies and egg roll for lunch and/or dinner. Oh, I also snacked heavily on sunflower seeds to stay away from the candy and I flushed regularly with lots of water.
During the holidays I unfortunately indulged in more of the traditional unhealthy foods: cakes, cookies, pastries, turkey, ham, yams, cheese rolls, crackers, candy - you name it I ate it.  This left me feeling a little more sluggish and fuller but not itchy, scratchy, swollen and strange looking. Last night I popped 3 small walnuts in my mouth just before going to bed and this resulted in red itchy, swollen hands and fat lips  Ok -- How long will it take for these lips to deflate because the "Diva" can not walk around like this (smile).
Seriously, what is the correlation between lung cancer, swollen hands and swollen lips? I sense there is something in the peanut/walnut family that triggers this itchy, scratch, swollen reaction. Needles to say I am back to my diet. Please keep me posted on further information related to these symptoms. Have a blessed and productive new year.  |

| Posted: 01/03/08 - 01:53 Post subject: Red swollen hands that peel. |
|
|
| I also have a problem with hands that swell,turn red, and eventually peel. I was researching my symptoms when I came across this post. One of the possible causes was Kawasaki disease, but I believe it only affects children and is usually associated with a fever. Symptoms for that disease also include swelling of lips and tongue which sounded a little like the 24 year olds complaints, so I thought I'd bring it up. I agree with the others that it is most likely an allergy. I believe my problem may be a contact dermatitis. The problem could be caused by contact or something ingested. |

My symptoms are exactly the same as of the first post and i am relieved a bit that i am not the only unfortunate person.
I have been patient of allergic rhinitis all my life and for it i take corticosteroid sprays Flixonase ( Flunase ) etc.
This is the first time , such bad symptoms have appeared. Couple of days back, i was fixing a car shade at night time and had physical contact with some bushes, whom i tried to break with my bare hands. I think i got some allergens from that bushes.
A full day passed with no symptoms , then the next night, i felt itching in my body, my elbows, my knees, my butts and palms. When i woke up in the morning, i found out that my palms were red, itchy and heavy. They kept on swelling, also my knees swelled a bit. My hand fingers are like balloons. i could not even close the hands. Then last night my lower lip swelled and its so big at this time.
I tried, Zyrtec, Loratadin, Incidal and nothing is working so far.
I have not tried benadryl so will probably go to chemist and buy it to give it a try too.
I dont know why such foolish diseases happen to me only. All my family members are perfect, i always have one thing or the other..
Anyways, noone gave a concrete medicine for the problem. Its all different perception of different people.
I will try not near to plants ever ( specially that bush ). Lets see how many days i take to get back to normal and whether it happens again or not. |
