[|Human|] My 18 yr old daughter has swollen fingers, has difficulty opening things like jars. In March she had developed a rash on her knees, elbows, backs of hands. It wasn t only a bumpy itchy rash, she also had flat purplish mottled areas also on her elbows and hands. The doctor said she had 2 things going on: a yeast infection and a rash. He was sure it was from the tanning beds ( yes teenagers, can t tell them anything ). The dr prescribed meds to stop the itch and kill the yeast infection. She was mostly cured but has been left with tender swollen fingers. Initial blood tests neg for mono, went back for more tests yesterday. Rheumatoid Arthritis??
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As per your information, whenever the body eliminate toxins, is mostly done through the pores, which can lead to symptoms such as rash, eczema, acne and others. Also, carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor.  In my opinion, i don't think it is RA, RA includes lots of symptoms and mostly seen in the 30 to 50 yrs age group. Positive RA factor is required to rule out. I will suggest you to visit your primary doctor and rule it out. Mostly I suggest my patients to apply an ice pack every 3 to 4 hrs, exercising swollen fingers, elevating hands for an about 15 minutes at least 3 or 4 times per day, massaging,wearing compression gloves, less salt intake, lots of fluid intake will surely help it. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us and voting. I will be happy to answer your questions.
