White rings under the skin

[manyfacesx88x]

Ok, occasionally I get these white rings under my skin, usually in the palms of my hands or the soles of my feet..they're raised white rings just under the skin that're painful to the touch not like "Oh my god can't take it" pain but annoying constant dull almost burning pain, they usually go away within a day or so but I just wanna know what they are..any ideas?

I dont know if this will work, but i have been through something similar. Try not to itch the rings and pretend they arent there.

I have no idea what these are but I get them on my hands and feet. Has anybody noticed them to show up when you have been around a dog? It seems like such a weird thing to happen from a dog but I have experienced this for years and only get it when i am in the same house as a dog, even if I dont touch the dogs and even if the dogs are in cages. This is the only common denominator between all of the times these rings have showed up for me.

First hit on a search for this, and I feel exactly like most of the comments here. Might correlate with lack of sleep and poor diet, but couldn't say for sure. Sometimes the itch is maddening enough to interrupt sleep itself. Far as dealing with symptoms scratching doesn't work, and I tend to get annoyed  enough with it to hit it with a lighter for a few seconds just to get some brief relief.  After that I go around and try various remedies in the house, but the one that seems to do the most to calm it down (after HOT water, vinegar, antibiotic cream, etc don't seem to do much) is scrubbing thoroughly a few times with anti-bacterial hand soap.  However, that's typically only after I've gone to town on scratching and abusing it.

I am desperate for an answer. When this is acting up, I cannot even walk. I've been to the doctor twice and they've given me Prednisone (Spelling??) and two different topicals for my feet. NOTHING HELPS. The doctor says it doesn't sound like ringworm, since ringworm may be itchy but not painful.  It's spreading to my hands, I'm assuming because I'm constantly applying something to my feet. My doctor also said she wants to see it when its active so she can scrape and test it, but it isn't always there. I can't just call up the doctor and say "hey, I'll be there in a few minutes", this just isn't something I can really make an appointment for. It's affecting my everyday life due to the fact that it can be so painful to walk. I don't know what else to do...

I've been having this problem for a couple months now. If I'm not putting pressure on my hands or feet its fine, but when I start walking or something they come back. Some are white rings and some are white risen dots that are kinda clumped together. It went away for about a week but came back today worse than ever. I went to the doctor and blood test came out regular. They just gave be benadryl but its not working. Anyone know anything to help it.
The only think that makes it feel better for a little bit is lotion but it only works for so long.

I have the same problem since yesterday. It itches like crazy. I have one on my right hand , on the side rather than on the palm. It feels like there's something under the skin. Has anyone found out what this is?

I'm from Brazil, and a i'm having these little rings for about a month. It feels exactly the way all of you have explained above. It drives me nuts. I have visited a dermathologist and a rheumatologist, they asked me a lot of blood exams that showed some liver disorders. But they can't tell me what i have on my palms and soles. In the worst days i cant grab little things, and can't walk because of the pain. I have tried antihistamine, corticoids, creams... None of them seems to help. If some one of you find out what it is, or what i could do to help to relive the sympthoms let me know.
