Hi
Bumps on fingers may be herpetic whitlow, dishydrosis, warts or molluscum. Herpetic whitlow and dyshidrosis are usually vesicles and they may contain clear fluid. For herpetic whitlow, ther appears to be a reddish background and the vesicles may tingle and burn. Dishydrosis may present with itchiness and they may lead to eczematous excoriations.
In your case, do the bumps contain clear fluid or are they solid skin colored bumps?
