Hello doctor, I have had eczema on the inside of my right hand for about ten years now. It seems like it has slowly started to heal. But now I have a new problem popping up. There are small flesh-colored bumps on my fingers that are multiplying in clusters. They look and feel like small clauses. After a shower, they turn white and very unsightly. I had one, just like this, three years ago. I have them about twenty in number on the palm-side of my fingers, mostly on my ring finger. Do you know what they are?
Hi. I saw your clinical picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have rough raised slots on your fingers. These are palmar warts. Wart is a virus infection caused by human papilloma virus. This is a contagious condition. It will spread to other sites, if not treated. Spreading of wart depends on your immunity as well. You will have to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to get rid of them. Treatment options include liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, electrodesiccation, topical TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) application, and topical Salicylic acid and Lactic acid combination. Do get treated as soon as possible. For more information consult a dermatologist online -->
