What Causes Painful Bumps On The Fingers?

I have these very painful bumps arising on my fingers, once I pop them the pain goes away however the skin surrounding the area peels away and takes awhile to heal. the skin on my finger tips seems very thin now and extremely sensitive to touch especially when wet. one a lot of research and cant figure it out. Ayt ideas?

Hello,

I have gone through your query and it could be eczema. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once daily at bedtime.

Also, keep the hands moisturized and avoid harsh soaps on hands.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
