I fooled around with one of my friends back at the end of June, and by July 16th I had noticed a bump on the back of my right hand. Went to see the doctor that night, he said no, but later on that same night it popped. Maybe a few days later I got another bump further back, about an inch from my wrist. A couple days later, 3 appeared in a straight line just past my left wrist on my forearm, with a centimetre in between 1 and the other 2. Another is by my left wrist on the back of my hand. A few days ago, a 5th one appeared on my left hand by my wrist at the end of my thumb.
For the most part, these bumps does look somewhat wartlike, or even acne like. They are raised bumps with a whitish/skin tone, and a white head (leading me to believe it may be a zit, but I don't understand why they would linger if that's the case). With the exception of the first one that popped, which may have happened at work with a very physical job, every single bump has remained and only recently have they begun to appear a little red. They do not hurt at all.
Could this be herpes? Would these bumps remain in the same spot every day for 6 weeks? I'm really getting tired of showering with gloves on, and being afraid of my own hands. Pleeeease help!
