Q: Redness Around Knuckles

asked by: AlexL on February 5th, 2006

I am 19 years old and recently I started to take centrum miltimineral supplement because my old bottle ran out (onesource for teens). A few days after I started taking centrum I noticed redness on my knuckle by the pinkie. I did not really think anything of it (stupid me). A few days after that it got a little worse and moved to all the knuckles. It is only around the knuckles and the lower part of the fingers. My hand is not completely red. I also have some redness under my arm pit.

not sure if you can see it or not. I also took some motrin 800g for a bump on my wrist but only took for a few days.

Hi there.
Looks like it may be some skin allergy of some sort. Are you allergic to any of the products in the centrum. Is it painful? Hot to touch? Are you having any systematic symptoms (feeling unwell, fever)?
