How To Cure Bone Spurs On Fingers Which Is Bleeding ?

I have several bone spurs on eight of my fingers. My two forefingers have the most pronounced and I often knock them, and the bone spur seems to pop through the skin and it opens up and bleeds. Any idea how to deal with this? It is very painful and I hate to go through life wearing bandaids on my fingers. Sorry. I cannot afford to pay this. I will go to my own GP and get the answer. Good luck to you.

Hi
If spurs are so large interfering the using of hand, the larger ones need to be excised by surgery.Ask your GP to refer you to a hand surgeon.
As of now, apply antiseptic ointment to exposed areas and take Advil tabs for checking inflammation.
Best wishes
