How To Treat Raised Scab On The Top Of Knuckle?

Hi, I ve got this weird looking scab on the top of my knuckle that just won t go away. It s raised above the rest of my hand and has a dark ring around it; which I assume is because I kept picking at it. It s fleshy in the center once you get a clear coat scab off and if you stick it pretty good it starts to bleed. It s tender to the touch if that helps.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chances of seborrheric dermatitis is very likely and this can be best managed with steroid preparation and best would be "Beclomethasone with Neomycin" cream apply this three times in day, if this not comes around then better to see the dermatologist, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
