What Causes Finger Lumps With Itching, Redness, Soreness And Pus?
I have one finger that has gotten these itchy small bumps that have clear fluid in them. I have tried allergy cream, now the area is red and sore. I'm not sure what to make of it as it came out of no where. If I use no bandage it gets dry and more itchy.

Welcome to health care magic.
1.The most possible cause in this case is ganglions in the joint from the joint spaces. Next possible cause could be infective aetiology with collection of pus within. If you are male - the other possible cause could be hair follicle infection.
2.The remedy in this case - do not squeeze, compress, scratch the lumps as you will be complicating in that way,and delay healing process.
3.Treatment in this case includes a course of antibiotics, maintain local hygiene.
4.If lumps are big and not responding to treatment - an incision and drainage followed by a course of antibiotics.
5.In case of ganglions, generally monitored - if symptomatic needs excision and drainage. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask do not hesitate to ask.
