KING CHARLES III FINGERS

WHY ARE KING CHARLES III FINGERS SO RED AND SWOLLEN?

King Charles III fingers have been noticed appear swollen, more so after moving to warmer environments, and fans are raising concerns. Well, red and swollen fingers can possibly come from conditions, including edema, arthritis, water retention, or abrupt temperature changes. While Charles’ condition is not confirmed, edema entails water retention causing fingers to swell, especially for older adults. The condition may originate from underlying health issues or diet. It can cause excess fluid getting trapped in various body tissues. It can affect the legs, fingers, ankles, and other extremities. But it is a treatable illness, especially with earlier intervention.
