inflamation and swelling on my hands and arms

by janrc2566, Feb 11, 2008 02:19PM
Every couple of weeks to a month, I will experience these episodes of first an itchy area on my arm, wrist, palm or fingers.  That goes from itchy to burning then swells.  The area swells so much it is hard to the touch.  It will stay around for a few days then subside then move to another area then generally goes away for a few weeks or a month.

Someone told me it was probably allergies for which I have tried benadryl and claritan but they both have not worked.

Thanks
