I'm M/16, its really hot out. The past day & a half I've been getting cuts on my pointer & middle finger on my right hand. The first one bled, I noticed is after scratching my leg & feeling a sting (Like a paper cut) The second one was almost identical, I woke up with it on my middle finger, it did not bleed. Through out the day I guess it grew down the finger, its longer. Then just now I noticed on above each. So its 2 cuts on each finger. I haven't touched anything sharp. Can it be a health or skin problem?
The first thing I would suggest is showing these cuts to your mom and see what she thinks. Put some antibiotic ointment on them so they do not become infected. I would leave them open to the air unless you plan on doing some activities that would get them dirty.
In this hot weather it is important to stay well hydrated. If you have been playing a lot of sports these past two days and not drinking enough, water not soda, then you may have become somewhat dehydrated.
I have always found the best defense against dehydration and sun related illnesses are: Sunglasses, a hat and you rarely see me without a bottle of water in my hands. Water is the best way to stay hydrated. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

I had a similar problem but it was because I was allergic to the formula I was feeding my baby... this could also be a what you are expiriencing maybe it is an allergic reaction good luck [ YoungMommy's advice column | Ask YoungMommy A Question ]
