rash of growths on neck

I have what feels like crops of warts in patches on my neck, the fold of my neck area and worst of all, on my throat. They itch sometimes and they feel horrible to the touch.

swollen knuckles

How can I reduce the swelling in my knuckles so I can bend my fingers again? It's years since I could clench my fists and I drop things all the time which can be embarrassing and painful if I drop a tin on my foot! :(
