What Causes Small Bump On The Finger With Burning Sensation In Entire Finger?

I thought I had gotten some red pepper under my rings because my finger was burning. I washed my hands in cold water after taking off my rings. The burning hasn t stopped. My ring finger and little finger both are still burning and they are red only in the ring area. There is a small bump on the ring finger and I was wondering if I may have gotten bitten by a spider. I have no other symptoms. If I did get bitten by a spider, what are the symptoms?

Hello,

Small bump on the finger with burning sensation may be due to the following conditions:
1) An insect bite
2) Irritant contact dermatitis
3) Allergy or eczema
4) Spider bite

The following are symptoms of spider bite:
- Difficulty breathing
- Droopy or swollen eyes
- Headache
- Increased saliva production
- Nausea and vomiting
- Painful muscle cramps and stiffness in the stomach, shoulders, chest and back
- Profuse sweating
- Itchy skin rash with blisters and burning

Treatment includes the following:
1) Cleaning the area
2) Application of ice to reduce the burning
3) Antihistamines like tab. Levocetirizine to be taken twice daily for 2 days
4) Analgesics like NSAIDs Ibuprofen or Naproxen can be taken if pain is severe
If the symptoms don't subside, please consult a dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
