I forgot my gloves and dove without them. A few times I grabbed rocks (which had some kind of growth on them) to stabilize myself on the bottom. I had no problem in the water but when I got out my left hand started hurting. There was no rash and it wasn't swollen, but it felt like tiny shards of glass digging into the palm and fingers, it also felt swollen/hard to make a fist. Being so uncomfortable I even tried peeing in my hand which didn't help at all.
Today the shards of glass sensation is gone, but the hand is quite painful. I tried Benedryl cream but it had no effect. Holding a frozen water bottle alleviates the pain. Does anyone know of a medication that will fix this?
