About a month ago, I developed a few small bumps on the area between my first and second knuckle on the middle finger of my left hand. They are only on the top of my hand. They were very small, perhaps a millimeter in diameter each, and there weren't too many of them. They itched. They were skin-colored (i.e., not red), they didn't seep or pus, and only a few were raised.
Currently, I still have the bumps. The only difference is that they have become more numerous in that stretch of skin, and I believe they may be starting to appear on another finger. They have not grown or shrunk, they have not changed colors. They tend to itch more at night, before I'm going to bed. Moisturizing lotion seems to help, at least with the itching.
Awhile back, I went to the dermatologist and got diagnosed with seborrhaic dermatitis. She prescribed a cream for me, desonide, though I never had to use it for the dermatitis. I put a littl bit on these bumps, and it takes them away, but only for a few days, after which point they return.
I am prone to dry skin.
I am considering going back to the dermatologist for this latest problem, but I feel a bit silly going to the doctor for such an innocuous thing. I'm hoping I can just figure out what's wrong and move on by myself.
Any suggestions?
