Thumb puffy/spongy and get spontaneous cuts

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have this thing happening -

Maybe once a month I get 1-2 spontaneous cuts , mostly on my thumb. Before

that it feels real puffy/spongy/swollen and then after some time I will see a

cut.

I was wondering if this could be due to hypercoagulation or biofilms ?

Love,

Deepak

Dear Depak

This sounds very much like my experience of psoriasis, a day or so of

disordered touch sensation followed by spontaneous breaks in the skin ,

often following the lines of the fingerprint.

For me, the use of a barrier cream or moisturiser (Sorbolene) manages to

slow the process. Once the skin is broken I use sports strapping tape to

cover the skin and leave it until the wound is healed.

Psoriasis is associated with hypoxemia (which I have, oxygen saturation

often dropping to under 90%) Co-enzyme Q 10 may lessen the symptoms, I've

only started it (150 mg nightly) a few days ago but it does seem to lift

oxygen levels.

Fibromyalgia trigger points are also areas of local hypoxemia. What is

cause and what is effect, I've not worked out.

Is it herpes whitlow? It is very common for Cfs patients to have varied high

herpes titers. I have it. It isn't a cut though it starts as a sore bump under

the skin. It swells and sort of itches but mostly hurts.
