Skin infection on fingers...

[Glavonja]

Hello my name is Almir, and I've had this skin infection on my index, and middle finger since I can remember.

It doesn't really hurt or anything, but it's not pretty to look at.

I first thought it was some type of wart, so I tried buying some of those wart removing bandages, after using those it made it all white, and it started to peel off, after a while it would come back again after I stopped applying the the bandages.

I know I should consult my doctor about this, but I'm on the road a lot, and don't  have much free time even when home.

So I hope I can get some help on this here.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Without examination,confirming a diagnosis is tough but it looks like granuloma annulare(bumps appearing on the hands) but other possibilities that should be kept in mind are myxoid cyst(growth usually occurring on the finger) , contact dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema.

I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and get these bumps examined to rule out the above possibilities one by one and form a confirmatory diagnosis.Treatment is different for all.

I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
