Brief Answer:
Digital mucous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can notice a few flesh coloured nodules. These appear to be digital mucous cysts. The origin may be either from the joint and is associated with joint degenerative changes or they may form independent of joint due to production of excess hyaluronic acid from the dermal fibroblasts. In asymptomatic patients the approach is to just observe. Nothing to be concerned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
