Pathologist and Microbiologist, Dr. S. Samanta's Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of finger lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include: 1. common skin warts/papilloma due to recurrent friction as your doctor mentioned! 2. The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like dermatofibroma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
3. The last possibility is of inclusion sebaceous cyst ! Nothing to worry about these also!
I suggest you to see a dermatologist for medical treatment by keratolytic agents or a surgeon for shave biopsy of the lumps and to relieve your concerns!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
