What causes a hand growth with a lump on irritation?
Patient: I have this thing on my hand where when I scratch it or if it gets scratched like by a paper cut, or just by someone else after a little while a bump comes on that spot and leaves after a couple of minutes. What is that and What can I do to prevent it? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.Noted your history of getting bumps on the hand on scratching, or by a paper cut and it disappears after a couple of minutes. The probable reasons are:Exaggerated response of the body to a stimulus and this looks physiological as the bumps disappear within few minutes.Another reasons can be very sensitive histamine response of the body which the body takes care of immediately.Another possibility is that there was exposure to some allergens in the past which have caused this sort of hypersensitive response. I would advise you to undergo the tests of blood, urine and stool.Get a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations as may be decided by your Doctor.Special tests may be needed. Get a course of an antihistamine, steroids, dewormin and as may be suggested by your Doctor. Avoid any such things that can cause this phenomenon.
