Small Bumps on knuckles of hands

I have quite a few small bumps on all the knuckles of both hands, they do not itch or anything.  I was just wondering what they are and if there is anything over the counter that could take care of them.

Hello there, I have the exact same problem, skin colored bumps on knuckles and slightly raised. Need to visit a doc on this. I hope this is nothing. Does anyone know what it is? Alive and well 87  how was your visit to the doc ?

Hello,
These bumps on knuckles can be due to granuloma annulare, rheumatoid nodules, warts or as a symptom of dermatomyositis. Granuloma annulare is a chronic disease consisting of a rash with reddish bumps arranged in a circle or ring. I suggest you a dermatologist’s evaluation and then getting evaluated for all these conditions.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
