A member asked:

Good morning i have small glands forming on my right finger it havent affected my writing yet but it itches and sometimes pain.is there perhaps a medication i can purchase to stop the glands from forming?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nodes: If these knob like structures are located on either side of the joint just under the fingernail, these are probably Heberden's nodes which are tiny bony spurs indicative of( wear and tear) osteoarthritis of that joint. These tend to run in families. An anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen may reduce pain in the affected joint. These nodes may form on other fingers in the future
