Question 1

small white bumps on fingers?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: Neurodermatitis, especially if you have little blister like eruptions before white bumps appear.  Dry your hands completely after every handwashing, apply 1% Hydrocortisone cream at bedtime, and wear gloves to bed.  If this doesn't do it, it is dermatologist time.

Question 3

i have a small white bump on my left index finger. it only is painful when i have pressure on it, or this morning when my hand was swollen. pic attach?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: A tender white lesion on a finger combined with a swollen hand raises suspicion of an infection. Therefore I recommend an urgent examination by a physician in the hospital emergency room for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

Many possibilities: Some causes of “raised bumps” may include soft tissue masses, infection, ganglions, fibromas, inflamed lymph nodes, and cysts.  Have the area evaluated by a professional to get the right diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 6

i have small bumps itching on fingers, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Have it looked at: There are many types and causes of skin rashes.  Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Question 7

i have small bumps on both of my index fingers. i don't know what it can be. happens when it gets warm out. ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Rashes are quite hard to describe and diagnose in words. A primary dr. Or a dermatologist can look at it in order to tell what it is. If an eczema rash, Hydrocortisone cream helps. Itchy little bumps of 1-2mm size, that come and go on the fingers, may be dyshidrosis, a form of eczema. Some rashes are an allergy to something. A dr.'s exam can help, especially if few days of Hydrocortisone hasn't.

Question 8

i have cut my finger by accident (i hadn't realized until i felt minor pain) and now i have a small white-ish bump near the cut that is a bit painful?

Accepted Answer

Clean and dress: clean with alcohol swab and dress it with sterile gauze dressing
If redness appear or note any discharge see your doctor. should heal well

Question 9

i have clear singularly bumps that pop up one at a time on different fingers. they are small, painful when brushed against, and have dark centers. when the bump clears itself the dark center stays. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: It is best that you have it evaluated by a picture on a telemedicine forum or have a clinician evaluate if for you because most of the time the description is not as good as seeing it or a picture or video telemedical forum.

Bump on the index : I just saw a patient in the office with this about an hour ago. Most likely that is a ganglion. See a doctor in person to be sure.
