Red bumps on feeet/hands

A few months ago I started developing red bumps on the tops of my feet.  Some are in rings and some are just individual.  The bumps are smooth and no skin is flaking off.  They do not itch or hurt. I have tried neosporin, cortizone, anti-fungal, etc but nothing has any effect.  The bumps are now appearing on the backs of my hands and spreading up my ankles as well.  The bumps seem to be under my skin and are a dark pink/red color.
I am concerned at how quickly they are spreading.
Any ideas what this could be or something else I could try to get rid of them?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

I have seen the photographs and one of the possibilities for your symptoms is of granuloma annulare. It consists of raised, reddish or skin-colored bumps (lesions) that form ring patterns — usually on your hands and feet.

It looks like localized granuloma annulare which occurs most commonly on the hands, feet, wrists and ankles of young adults, particularly women.

To confirm a case of granuloma annulare, your doctor may take a small sample of the affected skin (skin biopsy) to examine under a microscope. So my sincere advice would be to get it done.

Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon. Wishing you good health.

My apologies, I cannot get photos to upload so I have added pics of the bumps to my profile and made them viewable to everyone.
