Bumps on finger...I don't think they are warts...?!
Question: I have several tiny bumps on the inside of my middle finger. I noticed a single lump about a week ago and thought it was a bite. It did not really bother me initially. A few days after that, I saw a second bump. Today (which is about a week later) there are about 10 bumps centralized in that location. It is somewhat tender, but still no itching. In the center of each bump, there is a tiny black spot. The bumps are very small, but there are so many of them.
Does anyone know what this could be?
I will go to the dermatologist if it doesn't go away in the next day or two or gets worse, but I am just wondering for now if anyone else has had this or knows what it could be.
Thanks.

The small blisters you describe, filled with clear fluid are a form of dermatitis called pompholyx, also known as vesicular eczema (a vesicle is small fluid filled sac). Pompholyx is the preferred term, it means bubble in Latin and the blisters very often look like little bubbles.
This particular type of eczema only seems to occur on the hands and feet.
The condition comes and goes over time, nobody really knows what causes it. Moisture, detergents and chemicals can all aggravate it. I have seen many cases where the popmpholyx develops or worsens after stress.
In some people there appears to be an allergic tendency, and in some cases nickel sensitivity can be the cause, so avoid cheap nickel coated rings, watches and jewelry.
Mild cases usually resolve themselves, though sometimes nightly cortisone based creams can help relieve the itching that often, but not always, accompanies pompholyx. If it worsens or gets too itchy see your family physician.
Severe cases are fairly rare, and often require stronger steroid creams, and occasionally oral steroids (prednisolone or similar).
Breaking the blisters can be difficult as they are quite small and the skin over them is quite thick. It is not a good thing to do as the broken blisters can become infected and painful.
Basic management involves avoiding exposure to skin irritants (wear good gloves when doing the dishes) and keeping the hands moisturized. Cool compresses can help when the blisters are itchy.
If your case is mild, it will settle without treatment over a few days or weeks (and may not come back for months or years). It's a good idea to see your family doctor if you're worried.
I can think only dermatite of contact of origin allergic ,try with
one pomate with cortisone such gentalinbeta or similar
I have no idea what you have. I'll just tell you that you need to TRY to get a diagnosis. In my personal experience, that's not always easy. But it starts there. Then you can decide what to try to do about it. Then research on the web to find out what the different possible treatments are. If the doctor can't diagnose it, it's harder. Try another doctor. Good luck!
