My finger is itching like it got bit by several of mosquitoes! help!?

Question

okay so heres what happened, I had a open cut on my index finger I was serving alcohol to relatives at the time when i noticed the cut, so i went inside to get a band aid and couldnt find one. So instead i just grabbed some tissue and rapped my index finger around in it and tapped my finger.

it got wet and soggy from the ice but i didnt take it off. next morning i took it off and it was all pruny (im assuming from all the liquid and suffication of the "home made bandaid" Now heres the thing. I have misquito like bumps on my finger that are itchy and it makes my index finger itch from the joint to the tip of my finger nail. any help? i have been icing it for about 3 days now to help make the itch go away

Answer 1

Ouch. Buy some cortizone 10 itch cream. If that doesn't help then go see a doctor.  

Answer 2

Don't scratch it, you'll make it worse. Put some camphophenique on it. It will sting a little bit, but it will get rid of the annoying itch.

Answer 3

You might have an infection, or you could have gotten exposed to something like poison ivy, which can take a week to get over. If it doesn't get better in a day or two, I would see a doctor.
