What causes burning sensation on the hands after taking bath?
Patient: Hi, sometimes when I shower my hands swell up and feel like they are on fire. My fingers and palms of my hands visibly swell. It's not every time I shower, just occasionally. Also running my hands under ice cold water then raising my hands high into the air seems to make better. Any idea what this could be or mean? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThere is a condition called cold urticaria where persons experience an allergic response to cold temperature.The allergy would cause the swelling and abnormal sensations.It is possible that this is the cause of your symptoms. You may want to consider visiting a dermatologist for review.The most important aspect of treatment is to stay warm.I hope this helps
