I have had a similar problem since I was 5 or 6 years old. I am 16 now. My hands and fingers will start to itch (it makes it worse if I scratch it) then they will get swollen. This happens about once every month or two. When I was little it happened after I touched Lego blocks or when I went mini-golfing. Now it happens when we take the fake Christmas tree out, when I played tenis at school, and when I use the shovel in the backyard. My fingers seem to get more and more swollen everytime this happens and it also seems to last longer. I was thinking that I might be allergic to something, but after reading some of these posts I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I have auto-immune diseases. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. I would really like to know what this is. I am not looking forward to having to go to another doctor so I have been putting it off.

No WAY! I have the same problem at department stores... I thought it might have something to do with the imported goods.. you know that funny smell some things get in outlet stores? Only problem is it does happen to me when I go walking... never while exercising .. but walking... it is crazy and I have no idea what it is...

Well I sleep the same every night and one day I woke up and my fingers were like sausages so I went to the doctor and she said that it was proudly the way I slept but here's another thing I had just got knew feather pillows and a knew bed so it could've been an allergic reaction. I'd i we're you I would just talk to your doctor and they will proudly just take blood to see if you h e anything serious but I honestly wouldn't be to worried. Hope this helped!!

My index finger on my right hand started to swell and itch in winter 2009. My ring finger on the same hand also swelled and started itching that winter.
Now, every winter since, my index finger and my ring finger (but not always the ring finger), swell and itch like hell. I don't get it, and i don't understand why. It's so itchy and it's driving me insane!!! Anyone know what this could be caused by?

This has been happening to me for a few months now, I have noticed it happens when I touch my steering wheel cover(I think. It happens a lot when I am driving, so it'd have to be that, right?), and today it happened after I was holding a Malt Cup ice cream container. Red, hot, swollen and throbbing. I wash my hands when it happens, and it seems to go away in about 20mins.
I was recently diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome(POTS), so I wasn't sure if this was yet another annoying symptom of that, but it doesn't sound like it.

check for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or any other auto-immune, joint arthritic disease. I have RA, and my fingers, blisters, swell, itch, break bleed peel its usually when Im having a flare of my arthritis. Good luck.

I also had to use soap to take my rings off as they were sinking into my fingers> very uncomfortable condition.

That same thing happens to me! I was in Bass Pro Shops and I was there for maybe half an hour and all of a sudden my fingers started itching and they were swelling up. It hurt so bad. So when I got home, I put some anti-itch cream all over my hands and took some allergy pill and it helped..

Yes I have this problem too! It seems to be the very worst at Costco or Sams Club. I haven't found anything from my research online. Very strange. I wonder if it is something in the hvac system. Or maybe a circulation problem?

red itchy swollen fingers....I've had this condition since I was 25...I'm now 42. I get red, swollen, itchy fingers starting in fall and running through spring. I JUST started experiencing this three days ago. I noticed it started when I rested my pinky on an icepack. The sensation started as a localized, red itchy spot, and today my finger is swollen, hot, and sensitive to the touch. Often, in the winter, my hands will turn blue / purple. I went to see a doc about this 10 yrs ago; he diagnosed it as some type of Raynode's syndrome, then sent me to a rheumatoid arthritis specialist. This doctor then took blood tests, and found nothing. She prescribed some nitro glycerin cream to apply to my wrists to open blood flow....no improvement. At one time, a doctor suggested I go on heart medication to open the blood vessels in my hands...I did not opt for that solution.
As many folks in this discussion have said, my condition (red,itchy, swollen fingers...starts with one, then spreads to other fingers, then disappears after about 2 weeks) seems to creep up in fall and run through spring when warmer weather returns.

Do you by any chance use the sanitizing wipes offered at the entrance to many stores? If so, maybe that's it? Otherwise, maybe your wife is right. lol
