Sore tiny red bumps on fingers


Recommended Posts

Any advice would be oh-so-great because I cannot find anything on this! Alright so for a little over a year like ever few weeks or a month or so I'll get one or two tiny red dot like bumps on my fingers (they are not pimples, they will not pop although if I scratch them they turn into sores, oh yeah and they hurt.) I never got these until my husband ,when he was my bf,came to visit me (which was the first time I kissed a guy or anything else.) thanks.

First, stop popping them, breaking the skin will leave you open for infection.

 

It might be a form of eczema, there is a form that just makes little blisters of fluid from sweat glands not being able to release their contents on the surface of the skin (dyshidrosis).

Here's a pic of what it can look like...

The best thing to do would be to see a doctor. If not a dermatologist, at least a family doctor or nurse practioner. The blisters can lead to infections which would be very nasty.

Ah, that sounds a lot like chilblains to me. Some people are prone to them- myself included. They can be itchy and sore, and sound a lot like your description. They're very common and nothing to worry about. I use a cream called Balmosa which helps to soothe them a bit more. Hope this helps! =)

I get something that looks just like that on one or 2 fingers on my right hand. It comes for a couple days then I wont see it for a long time, I always thought it was somehow associated with stress or something like hives.

I think I've had the same thing as SheWolf, although I don't know the name of it. Every few months you get a single, painful red area on the back of the hand or finger, never right near the fingertip or wrist, with a tiny blister in the middle. When you pop it, a small amount of clear fluid comes out, leaving a hole, and then the thing dries up with a sort of shiny look and disappears. It doesn't look like chilblains or the eczema in CB's picture.

 

I googled the living hell out of this, but came up empty.

The eczema I discussed is a stress and allergy related problem, its often associated with hay fever.

 

I get that bumpiness all accross the backs of my hands. I try to keep the skin hydrated with lotion and use a cream like cortizone twice a day and when it really itches. I have other eczema types but that one is one of the weirdest looking.

Oh wow, I've been having the same problem for as long as I can remember! Except I get them on my feet too! It kind of looks like the one picture that one of the posters posted up in the previous post! I only get them during winter time, so I always thought that it's either just eczema or an allergic reaction to cold (???) or something. It usually goes away when the weather gets warmer lol. But I think I do have sensitive skin because last winter I had a really bad rash on my stomach, thighs and chest, and after a visit to the dermatologist, I was told that I had eczema. He prescribed me this really greasy ointment that I put on everyday and that really helped out with the problem.

I don't think there's much cause for worry, SheWolf. Your description and picture very closely match the phenomenon that I first noticed occasionally popping up on my own hands about 15 years ago, and I'm still fit as a fiddle. It damn sure wasn't syph, I'll tell you that!!

Freaks me out a little I have horrible anxiety.

 

I registered for this site just to reply to this post. You know what you may find interesting is i have a very similar problem. I have multiple small tiny red bumps on both hands mainly on the index fingers running along the opposite side of the middle finger and i am becoming worried on what they could be just as you are. I also have anxiety,i wonder if anxiety is somehow related? I've read about various skin conditions and stress having something to do with them in many cases, maybe anxiety can trigger this? I have been applying aloe so my hands and it seems to make them feel a bit better. I too do not have the money to go seek medical help i wish i did though. Keep me informed on your condition and maybe get a pic of your hand. Searching google and seeing all the things it could possibly be can be a very scary thing, i try not to dwell on any of them to keep my anxiety at bay.
