What Causes Swollen Bumps And Red Discoloration On Fingers?

Swollen, bumps, discolored (red, sometimes blue) on 4 fingers on right hand only. Had it at least 6 months ago but it went away and now came back. It starts with extreme itch, turns red, swells - took tests - not rheumatic, some circulation slower in right ankle, took x-ray, cat scan, nothing abnormal. No one seems to know what this is. Thanks, Doctor, but tomorrow I m going to see the same rheumatologist I last saw and his name if Pretak Chaudhurey (sp?)and I cannot afford any other costs right now. Other than osteoporosis he found nothing. I m on medicare. Sorry.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be autoimmune disorders, collagen disease may be possible, for exact nature of disease this could need some investigation including clinical examination, hope this information helps take care.
