Swollen Red Lines On Left Palm. Pain In Straightening Fingers. Tried Benadryl, No Releif. Cause For Pain?

My left palm near middle and ring finger showed up with swollen red lines that follow the normal lines you see on your hand . Now I can t make a fist or straighten my fingers without pain. No physical activity, no outside yesterday and no cleaning yesterday, not sure what to make of it. Tried taking Benadryl , used neosporin and eucerin with no relief

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Its quite possible that you might have developed an infection of you hand and may need a course of antibiotics to resolve it. It is important that you see a dcotor immediately as delaying may cause spread of the infection. There are other causes also which may cause this and it s better if you see a doctor who can examine and do some tests and start appropriate treatment.
