    I get the same reaction after a cold virus, my body is having an allergic reaction. Try antihistamines... they usually work within 20-30 mins. GL hun xx

    I took Demazin last night, it might have helped a little bit... I'll get something from the chemist today. They are not as red this morning but my fingertips are numb. weird.

    MD, I saw a GP yesterday - for DD2, and I just asked while I was there - and he said it looked like chillblains, but it's not that cold here...

    Delphmoon thanks for the link... I had heard of Raynauds & wondered, but it doesn't sound the same.

    I am thinking it's probably more of a reaction to somehting... I have been sick recently so it does fit with it being a reaction to a virus.

    Just updating, with a question for Cat & Little chicken & anyone else who had something similar before...

    They stayed red & sore for a few days, then went numb & a bit swollen, I lost feeling in my fingertips... now they are peeling, horribly, really thick dry peeling...the skin underneath is weird too, not quite right yet.

    Does this sound familiar to anyone? GP is stumped

    Sorry, no that never happened to me. I think your GP needs to refer you on, don't know who to though, a dermatologist maybe?
