Bulging veins and palm blisters~ Allergic reaction???

Hand problems
Recently noticed that about 3 days after finishing Pennicillin vk 500mg for dental infection, I began to notice I have bulging blue veins in both my palms and blue almost rope like veins that are very visible on my fingers of both hands. I also have blister like swellings that are skin color on both palms. The swellings are where palms meet fingers. I can't use my hands to open bottles and things of that nature due to tingling in my hands from the swellings and from the veins near surface of hands. Went to ER and they only visually looked and said they see nothing wrong with veins and swellings probably from eating to much salt, which is not true because my diet hasn't changed and I haven't experienced this before.  I have an appointment in few days but do you know any possibilities of what this may be from and could it be a reaction to penicillin vk 500mg?

Thank you sincerely for your reply and well wishes. I've been seeing doctor and still don't know what's going on. My condition hasn't gotten better or worse. Just need to get well for my family. Thanks again

it could be a reaction, yes

I agree with rosemaree - I would think things would get better, not worse, now that you are done the medication.  If it doesn't start getting better quickly or if it starts getting worse I would want to be seen right away.  Good luck!

It definitely could be a reaction to the penicillin but it may be something else.  If your condition worsens, especially if you have trouble breathing, go back to the ER but now that you are off the penicillin the symptoms should be subsiding.  I would definitely mention it to your doctor regardless of whether it gets better or not though.
