Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2020
Question: I got these boil lumps on both hands and one in my toe. The ones on my hands happened after I worked out with dumbbells as they rub on that part when I do hammer curls. But this is the first time I’ve ever gotten these boils and I’ve been lifting weights for years. they do not hurt or itch. what could they be?

Brief Answer:
Callosities/ thick skin

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

They seem like callosities, which is thick skin, that may have developed from repeated rubbing/ friction. This is reversible though, if the predisppsing factor of friction/ rubbing is removed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
