Tiny Holes in my hands

[nursechic]

I have a friend who has tiny holes in the creases of his palms and fingers. These little holes will get hardened white tissue in them which he pulls out leaving again a little tiny hole. These holes are in every crease and fold of his palm and fingers which is a cause of embarassment for him. A couple of times it is if the holes have gotten infected under the hardened area but as soon as the protrusion is pulled out the area is fine. Please does anyone know what this could be and how he can treat it? He went to a dermatologist who told him.... put stick deordorant on his hand....I have no idea how that was supposed to help him and it did not. So if anyone knows what this could be please let me know.
Thanks,

I am experiencing the same issue.I didn't see anyone mention that they have this on multiple fingers. It's almost as if it travels Index finger on left hand second joint down from the top is where it began. Then on the middle finger, same hand and joint. Then Thumb on right hand crease of top joint, and now top joint crease on ring finger of right hand.

Also, I've noticed that on the first two infected areas, it almost appear as if it's multiple "hole potential" areas immediately around the trouble spot. In addition, it almost looks as if it's two holes sharing one growth?

Lastly, I noticed that these spots, when you pull the little "pit" out (and yes it does look like a little tail on it or stick as was mentioned), for me the removed "skin" grows back almost immediately. Like I've picked the pit out, where I can see a very pronounced hole. Then within minutes, the whole isn't as pronounced. I have trouble bending my fingers in these areas, and it  is painful as the skin grows back. Oh one more thing. It appears that the pit, grows out and in a thin line right across the crease of my finger. Sometimes when I pick it, the little spine of the pit has very little hairs or tentacles. It's creepy. I do feel a little lump under some, but not all of these spots. VERY LAST THING. For the most recent one (Ring Finger Right hand), I felt a little pain in that area, BEFORE the nasty pit showed up. I had a sharp pain in my finger, and a few days later. Boom, pit present, skin getting hard and crusty, and the ability to bend at that joint diminished.

ANY UPDATES?

I made an account just to say THANK YOU. that is exactly what I have I am sure of it. I have wondered since I was a child what this was. no one I knew had it on them and I always wondered... not even our family doctor knew so I stopped asking doctors. Thank you SO MUCH. I would hug you if I could. lol guess I cant blame aliens anymore lol. I even have them on my wrist, that's actually where it started on the creases of my wrist. I did not get them on my palms until I was 30.

I have a similar bump with a hole in the center. The bump is a 0.10 of an inch more or less and the hole is .030 of an inch. It is on the thumb side of my index finger at the first joint. It is painful at times and very sensitive when I am turning a key in a lock or turning a switch because the key or switch is between the bump and my thumb when I turn them, putting pressure directly on the bump.

I use nail clippers to cut the bump off at skin level (yes that is painful) which makes the hole much easier to see. It just grows back. I have squeezed a small amount of dead skin (I suppose) from it a few times. Under magnification it looks like a volcano.

I sure would like to find out what it is and a way to permanently get rid of it.

I have the EXACT thing on my ring finger in the bend of it. It HURTS so bad!! Not itchy whatsoever. I have looked at all kinds of pictures of what others have called this, and it is not what mine is. When I have puled one out of mine before, I though it resembled (felt like a stick..(what I call it, however it was very light in color, almost a pale yellow, hard) I would LOVE to find out what this is and what in the world to do about it!!

this seems similar to a problem I have that I cant seem to diagnose/
I too have a small hole in the crease of my index finger, at the base crease above my palm.
Years ago I got ahold of whatever was in there and pulled it out- I looked like a single root or something.
Now after years as a bike mechanic its irritating me again and now its swollen making the base of my index finger much larger than it should be. So beneath the hole in my hand is what feels like a BB or something. At first I alawys thought this was probably scar tissue, but now IDK.
I would have been convinced that what I have is the same as what everyone else is describing except noone else has mentioned having a hard spot under the hole that feels liek a BB

This sounds more like my problem, if you pull it out, it actually looks like a tiny chip of rock or bone. It’s bone color. Feels like a bb under your finger. Your explaining what I feel, just never found answers for it. It hurts worst when my hands are dry. Idk if it’s a skin thing or something deeper
