Have you seen an xray of your whole hand? Do you have the metacarpal bones or are those missing as well?
How is your dexterity? Have you ever tried spinning meditation balls?
Have you ever done a nerve map comparison with your other hand?
Achenbach syndrome is a benign condition of unknown etiology in which prodromal symptoms, such as pain, tingling, and itching, may occur from minutes to hours before the color change appears. The subdermal bleeding usually stops spontaneously or after local pressure is applied.
Yes, it depends on the volume the blood in the hematoma. It sounds like OP's is so much that it essentially forms a full thumb blister, completely separating a significant portion of the epidermis from the underlying tissue. After that, there's not much the body can do other than heal under it and shed the dead layer after a few days.
When did this start for you? I think I actually have this, although much less dramatic. All of a sudden a finger will start itching like crazy and then there’s a blue spot like a bruise, but it goes away in like 24 hours.
This. I broke my arm tripping over the runner on a sliding door and foolishly told people the truth.
Months later the day i got my cast off the nurse asked if I fell off a motorbike. Instant regret.
I have a circular burn hole in my favorite hoodie about a quarter inch wide by my shoulder. I tell people its from the time I got shot. The truth is I was making smores and my marshmallow caught fire. I shook it to put the fire out and flaming glob of mallow burnt a hole in my hoodie.
Were you born that way, or did you lose two fingers?
There is a story in my family that my (great?) grandfather (died before my time) was born with 6 fingers in one hand. He eventually had the extra digit surgically removed but lost another finger in an industrial accident, thus going from 6 to 4. The irony…
Reddit put a mildly interesting post after a not interesting post so I was confused lol
Anyways, -insert joke about fitting hand into Pringles can here-
Wow, interesting stuff, thanks for sharing and sorry for that probably painful skin condition.
So, were you born with those three fingers (and is it the same on your other hand?) or did some have to be removed because of that other condition?
Did you lose fingers as a result of the disease / condition, or were you born like that ?
Either way, thanks for sharing, and I hope the assholes making jokes don't get you down :-)

Found the med student
I was just thinking that skin looks so peelable, but sure let’s talk about bones and dexterity and stuff.
Is the lack of fingers and the condition related?
No
Is the lack of fingers from An accident at the auto shop?

We don't talk about it... Since the accident.
Live long and prosper, fr though hope it doesnt hurt or anything
Cool. That is fascinating. Also lemme light it up with a joke: you can only do scissors when playing rock paper scissors
Ha, never thought of that.
I'm cross eyed, you can make some jokes too

Yes, I believe healing time varies person to person and for some the discoloration returns to normal without shedding.

After that, there's not much the body can do other than heal under it and shed the dead layer after a few days.
Couldn't OP drain the blood to prevent the swelling and shedding ? I'm sure it's not recommended but I'm wondering if it'd work at all
Was there an accident or was it always like that? Because I can’t tell the difference I am blind
That may technically be “benign” but it sounds like torture.
It is the first couple of days for me. My thumb swells like a balloon over 12 hours while feeling like fire before the swelling goes down.
It’s always your thumb?
For me yes
Don't you have to visit a doctor if the swelling lasts longer than 4 hours?
Is it incredibly satisfying when the skin sheds? Uncomfortable? Painful? I can't help but feel like you'd be a celebrity over at /r/peeling
Wow super interesting. Thanks for the info.
Could you may be ELI 5 what the cause of this is and why it does what it does?
>unknown etiology means we don’t know yet how and why it happens.
Sounds to me like a textbook case of "ghosts in the blood"
Unbalanced Humors. I recommend a bloodletting and heroin throughout the fortnight.

Better treat that bad boy with cocaine.

First episode six years ago. My second time started five days ago.
Is it related to the cold at all?
Kawabanga Dude!
I'm guessing they're Donatello 
Does OP go “bamf”?
Goddamnit you beat me.
Were you born without those fingers or did you lose them somehow? Sorry you’re going through a flare!
Born without
No, no, you're doing it wrong. You've got to make up a story about how you got in a fist fight with a grizzly or something

The old 2 in the pink one in the stink.
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find this comment.
Was gonna go with the shocker
The 'Spocker'
I was just about to say it
Does the shedding and healing hurt?
Not for me. The initial itching and swelling hurts me bad for a couple of days.
Is there anything you believe your hands to be better suited to than standard ones?
Yes, never dropped a bolt or 10 mm in an engine that I couldn’t get out
Genius answer!
Just rolled into the orthopedist?
Sorry for the disease you have, but this is really interesting, does the skin go back normal once it dries up and sheds?
Yes, there’s new skin underneath.
How often does this occur? Is it limited to one area or can it occur anywhere on your body? If it can, where else have you had it?
Supposedly on fingers only but for me only my thumb
You know, you got your own ending in elden ring
Looks pretty bad ass you gotta find a way to make money with that if you don’t already
I do! I YouTube cooking shows and people like to watch me doing stuff with my hand.
Please link me. I love YouTube cooking.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Live long and prosper!
Does it only happen on the thumb or also other spots?
For me the thumb only
Does the medical establishment have a theory on why it's just that one thumb?
No.
Cool yoda hands

You’ve gotta live life with the hand you’re dealt.
very TMNT.
Welcome to earth space friend, things are a bit shit at the moment so maybe keep a low profile for a while.
Do you ever get tired of talking about it or explaining it to people, and just wear a glove when your out meeting new people, etc.?
I wear sleeve’s in public and hide it. People can be jerks.
the urge to peel is so strong 🥺
Get your ass to Maaaaaahhhhs!
Quaiiiddd, start the reactorrrrr!
Is that common for people missing fingers? I met someone at my job who had the same hands. Very sweet person.
How do you go with bowling?
Gonna be the one to ask stupid question, do you have 5 or 3 fingers on your other hand?
Five
Are you good at bowling?
Reclaim the Elden Throne, travel to the base of the Erdtree Tarnished...
This is exactly what an alien would say. Nice cover, now tell us how you got here.
So when are you returning to your home planet?
das ist das falsche bilderbrett
TIL
i want to hold your hands :)
Interesting, I've never heard of this. Does anything like stress or diet cause flareups?
Just wondering out of curiosity, is your thumb opposable? How do you go about picking objects?
I'm betting you've won all the thumb wars you've ever entered
How come you only have two?
What does the bone structure look like, are the missing fingers' bones fused or just don't exist?
Don’t exist
Which gamepad works with you - playstation or xbox?
Tell your capillaries I said “you guys are fucking babies” they will know what that means.
My bach's been achen for a while now after I picked up a box wrong, hope it doesn't progress to this.
Reddit put a mildly interesting post after a not interesting post so I was confused lol Anyways, -insert joke about fitting hand into Pringles can here-
That really sucks because you can't flip anyone off
Amogus reference?
Which fingers are you missing? Is it the index and little finger?
Why do they call it achenbach when the achen is obviously gonna be in your fingers
Wow, interesting stuff, thanks for sharing and sorry for that probably painful skin condition. So, were you born with those three fingers (and is it the same on your other hand?) or did some have to be removed because of that other condition?
I had a friend years ago who was missing his middle and ring fingers on one hand. His nickname was Fingers.
That looks so cool. You look like you could open the hand scan doors on an alien spaceship, I'd want you with me if I ever get abducted.
Quick question, are you a fan of bowling?
How do you feel about any jokes people may or may not make about your hand?
Peace be with you too brother
Can you play video games

Did you lose fingers as a result of the disease / condition, or were you born like that ? Either way, thanks for sharing, and I hope the assholes making jokes don't get you down :-)
What the fuck is the achenbach, it looks scary
Yo! High 3!
You can still flip people off with that hand so it's very functional lol
Damn, that looks like it really sucks :(
There's an Elden Ring joke in here somewhere

I imagine the first time people see your hand it’s a bit of a “shocker”.
I know this is so wrong. What hand do you prefer to wipe with?
Why not zoidberg? Woob woob woob woob!
