Have red, itchy, painful, swollen knuckles. Can someone help? I am 12 years old, and do not crack my knuckles. I don t think it s due to cold weather as this hasn t ever happened before. It started off as a small bruise where I had been hit the day before, it began to swell, and from then on each knuckle was swollen. It went on until now, they are all red, and dry. I do not think it s just dry skin, as it started with swelling, not dry skin. I have used many creams/moisturisers and it s relieved the pain for a few hours only. I haven t gone to the doctors or a dermatologist as I don t think it s serious. Just would like some answer to this. Can someone help?
