Brief Answer:
Mole

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like moles.
Moles can appear anywhere on body and depending upon location their structure varies.
This is not going to harm you.
It can be easily removed by a dermatologist using radiofrequency ablator.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you

Thank you, I have ocd and it's difficult for me to stop worrying about things. I was wondering why they were shaped like that

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
There is nothing to worry at all.
It is a simple mold and appears like that because skin on fingers is thick and with markings.
Just relax.
Thank you
