What Causes A Red Itchy Rash On The Knuckle?

Hi. I have seemed to develop a red itchy rash on the top of my hands along the knuckles. I at first thought it was maybe a reaction to something I used in cleaning yesterday. However, I ve not used anything different that I haven t used before. That has made me begin to think it might be something else. I am also 14 weeks pregnant with my first child so just want to check. I know our bodies begin to change in many ways but I have not heard of this before?! I just wanted to check. Could you give me any info or advice? Thank you.
