Hello, I have a red spot on my left thumb, situated on the right side of the knuckle area. The red spot was there for about a month and then it started to rise with a hard outer texture. I scraped it and then it began to bleed sparatically without warning or injury to it, that happened for 2-3days. Now its just a hard callus raised bump with a small circular white area in center.
It may be callosity with hyperkeratotic scale in the middle area. You may consult the dermatologist.
I would suggest..
- keratolytic oint like salicylic acid 12% oint may be applied twice day on the lesion - take vitamin A and E capsules daily - avoid the friction on affected area
Hope this would help you..
