Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Bumps On The Finger
Question: I have 3 little red bumps on my finger near a knuckle. They don't really itch, but are a little sore if I push on them. What could this be? At first I thought of shingles, but I don't have any other symptoms.
Brief Answer:
Either pyoderma or insect bite
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic, reviewed the image,
According to your complaints, it doesn't seem to be shingles.
It could be either pyoderma which is a bacterial infection of the skin or insect bite reaction.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for 7-8 days.
