red bumps on fingers

[rnhd123]

For the last 20 years I have gotten small red bumps on the sides of my fingers.  They don't blister.  They start out as one or two and then I might get a few more and they seem to cluster up on only the sides of my fingers.  They are not itchy but they are sore to the touch when you run your finger over them.  It feels like you have a splinter.  They are slightly raised and red in color.  They will stay for varying lengths of time and then dry up and go away.  Usually not for more than a couple of weeks.  I may go for months and months and not get them and then all of a sudden they show up.  I have been to various dermatologists over the years and they seem puzzled and never seem to know what they are.

Hi everybody,

I think I have a similar problem.
You can watch my pictures to see if it looks like yours.
I tried a lot of stuff but the only thing that helped me was Ravintsara essential oil. Since I put it on my fingers few months ago, they didn't come back.

Hope you find this useful.
Good luck to all of you.

I have had symptoms of Reynaud's also.  And chillblains can be related to  Reynauds.  Reynauds is in the autoimmune/connective tissue problem area.

Mine was also stumped today by my painful bumps. I'm a surgical technologist so this *****. However, I was prescribed prednisone which is helping to my surprise. I thought maybe this would help. I know I'm aggravated no one knows what this is.
