A member asked:

The back of my hand especially around my knuckles and lower fingers is red and the skin is scaly. could this be caused by wearing vinyl gloves?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knuckle Pads: Knuckle pads are benign, asymptomatic, well-circumscribed, smooth, firm, skin-colored papules, nodules, or plaques, located in the skin over the dorsal aspects of the metacarpophalangeal (mcp) and interphalangeal (ip) joints. A history of repetitive trauma related to sports or occupation is often present.
