What Causes Cluster Of Brown Dots On Little Finger?

Hi, I Have a cluster of brown dots on the tip of my pinky finger. They are not bumps but just a change in skin color. They have been present for about 2 weeks and have not begun to fade or spread. What possibly could be the reason for this discoloration?

Dermatologist 's  Response
My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have noted the contents of your mail.

It seems that your condition is caused either by contact with a chemical substance or may be due to an insect bite.

since nearly two weeks have gone by and your only complaint is that these are not going away, I would suggest you to refrain from any drastic step. just apply some weak steroidal preparation. Hydrocortisone would be a good choice for anyone in this situation.

It is likely to disappear irrespective of what caused it. Examination of fresh lesions has greater chances of makings proper diagnosis.

You should be well soon
Best wishes from Healthcaremagic!
