Hello Doctor,
My hands are swollen, itchy, and have a painful burning feeling. I was sick about two weeks ago with strep throat, and now I'm experiencing a similar rash all over my body. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Can you help me understand why this is happening?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on your symptoms, it’s important to have a proper evaluation in person. The combination of hand swelling, itching, burning sensations, and a rash could be related to an allergic reaction, an infection, or other skin conditions that may have developed following your strep throat. It’s best to consult a dermatologist who can assess your symptoms in detail, provide a diagnosis, and recommend the appropriate treatment. They may perform tests or examine the rash to determine the underlying cause and guide you on the next steps for relief.
Thanks
