How Can small Bumps On The Hand Be Treated?

À few small bumps on palm of hand. In three different locations, only one bump per location. Largest is about the size of the small end of a pen cap. They are not painful and when I removed with nail clippers it was never painful, just seemed like dead skin, but it grows back. It s not a callus.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
From your description, there are a number of possible causes for your symptoms and without seeing the bumps I'm not in a position to make a diagnosis.
I thought about calluses, but if you say that it is not a callus I think that it might be a very mild dishydroasis.
Treatment consists of
1) improved moisturizing with products like Eucerin cream or Vanicream.
2)topical steroid like Desonide 0.05% ointment.
3)If you'd like to try the moisturizers, that would be helpful.
I wish you well and hope your skin improves rapidly.
