What Causes Itching In Between The Fingers?
The skin between my fingers suddenly began intense itching. This has happened before too. The itching drives me mad! I ve tried running hands under cold water, but that doesn t help. The only way I can get it to stop is an anti-itch cream. No rash, just red and swollen upper palm and lower adjoining finger joints. I m just wondering why this suddenly happens.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to fungal infection or scabies.
For that you can apply clotrimazole ointment locally.
Take tablet loratidine for itching.
In case of fever take tablet acetaminophen.
Avoid sweating and hot and humid environment. Maintain proper hygiene
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
