Index finger callus

Common Questions and Answers about Index finger callus

finger

But I have had this 1 cm in diameter bulge on my left hand index finger. I am not even left handed and it's not like I use my hands for hard labor, so I don't know if its a callus or not. It randomly appeared..The skin on the 'callus' is slightly darker. Problem is, its quite noticeable and I've had it for years.. I really don't understand how you can get rid of it.. So I tried cutting it off with a NAIL CLIPPER.. and i ended up have a small circle in the bulge that is completely red.

I have a sore on top of my index finger that looks somewhat like a callus. It will start to get painful and I can squeeze out a crystal clear gel like puss. I do not think it is a wart. There is a small black dot in the center of the sore. It tends to get smaller then bigger. Does anyone have any idea what it may be and how to get rid of it?

I have possible ringworm on my other arm and I was applying cream to it with my index finger, so why wouldn't the anti-fungal meds help?

I burned the side of my right index finger many months ago between the distal and the middle phalanx. The tissue initially hardened slightly as it healed. I scratched and picked at it, sometimes inadvertently and sometimes from day-to-day activities, and eventually the spot became a hard patch of callused tissue that is now approx. 1/3" across. The tissue itself is a hard/dead lump which I try to manage with a pumice stone and a sharp knife.

hello. I have bumps on three of my fingers (both thumbs and my right index finger). I am not really sure what they are. I have had them for about 16 years, since I was 12 or so. They do not hurt but are just annoyances because I consider them unsightly. i have posted pictures of them here: http://tinypic.com/r/2a0etfl/3 http://tinypic.com/r/ifzpmp/3 I am wondering if these are removable, and if so, generally how much one could expect to pay for such a procedure. Thank you!

They are on the inside of my index finger (left side from the knuckle to the top) and on my pinky finger (from the knuckle down). I do have a lot of stress in my life at the moment. I've tried aquaphor, Vaseline, cortisone from the drug store and so far nothing is working. As soon as I secure a new job with health benefits, I will visit a dermatologist.

I also have a rather symetrical bump on my right index finger, 1st joint from nail, top of finger I noticed it because it mildly itches. I don't know if I jammed it & this is the result, or what.

Then right middle finger, right index finger, left middle finger, left index finger, and finally left pinky. The only 2 fingers unaffected are my ring fingers. I have seen a multitude of dermatologists and have tried steroid creams. Nothing seems to help. I have not met anyone else that has this condition and many doctors look at my fingers like they have never seen anything like it before. I am open to any suggestions or anyone who has found a physician to treat this condition effectively.

Once I started playing there I seemed to notice a new callus form on the inside of my left index finger. My glove is in my left hand, so this made sense to me since I was catching about 100 hard thrown balls a day and hitting my index finger. Well, that was about 1 1/2 years ago. I didnt play first base for about 6 months after that and I thought it would go away, yet the "callus" seemed to stay put. Recently, a friend saw it and thought it might be a wart...is this true?

They are mainly on the very tips though there is a patch of them that has now formed on the side of my right index finger by the first knuckle. They are just under the skin and can be itchy and get inflamed when I scratch them. I have stuck a pin in them and a clear liquid comes out for just a second. It also feels as if pressure is released when I do this.

Now I have two more small bumps on my index finger and one on my thumb. All of the bumps are white/fleshy colored and they don't hurt or itch at all... I am not sure if they are warts anymore, as I never had warts before in my life... and they don't seem to look like the warts I see in pictures. I did some research and found out they could be "stress bumps" If this is true how would I be able to tell for sure and is there a way to treat it?

Hi, I got a large blood blister on my index finger as a result of a pinch injury at work. Did not pop it. after several months the outer skin peeled off . after more than a year there is a hard patch of skin that grows where the blister used to be. i cut it off with fingernail clippers but it grows back. what is it and how do I get rid of it ?

Hi, About 3 weeks ago, a Ugandan friend of mine (aged 25) broke the bone leading from the knuckle of his right index finger to the wrist as a result of a punch he threw. A local doctor tried to reset the bone and put a cast on extending from just above the knuckles to just above the wrist. A few days ago my friend was probing the area under the cast and could feel a pronounced bump at the site of the fracture. He went back to the doctor for an xray (attached).

I have round bumps on knuckles of all the fingers of my right hand (I'm right handed), the largest on my index finger and tapering to the smallest on my small finger. The largest is about 1/4" in diameter and about 1/8" high. They are rough and feel like callouses, but I don't do any kind of work that would cause a callous there. I can file them smooth or put hand cream on them to soften them, but very soon the roughness is back. The largest is rough enough to snag on clothing, etc.

I have developed some small bump-like growths or nodules on both my index fingers. They kinda look like a type of callus, they don't hurt or itch but sometimes feels numb. Sometimes you can see them raise above my skin but most times you have to palpate. What the heck could this be?

I have heavy callous between my thumb and index finger. Like you, I would peel them off and ijure my palms in the process. I have always been embarassed of my hands. So embarassed, i have never even brought them to a doctor. But have you ever tried consulting a Dermatologist? Thanks for sharing.

Over the past couple months or so, I have developed a whitish/yellowish spot off to one side from the tip of my index finger, on the fleshy part about 3/16" away from the nail. It is soft, not hard like a wart and doesn't have any other wartlike characteristics that I can see or feel.

this seems similar to a problem I have that I cant seem to diagnose/ I too have a small hole in the crease of my index finger, at the base crease above my palm. Years ago I got ahold of whatever was in there and pulled it out- I looked like a single root or something. Now after years as a bike mechanic its irritating me again and now its swollen making the base of my index finger much larger than it should be. So beneath the hole in my hand is what feels like a BB or something.

Hello, I cannot confirm a diagnosis without examination,but it can be calluses, foot blisters or fibromas. A callus is an especially toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard as a response to repeated contact or pressure. When a foot is hot and sweaty, the sock sticks to the foot. The sock and foot then rub against each other and the inside of the shoe causing blisters to appear.

Another thing is that I have a callous on my index finger caused by friction while sword fighting and this bit of my finger comes into contact with the inflamed part of the penis when I am masturbating - perhaps this is the cause. I am very anxious about this and will have to wait another nine days before I see my GP, who specialises in dermatology. Could you advise me on what I could do in the mean time in terms of helping this condition and the likely causes?

She basically pricked my index finger (which then formed a tiny light red spot of blood), then continued to apply gently pressure to produce more blood from my finger, which she collected the sample from. My question is, would this affrect the test results? It came out negative, however this is now constantly on my mind and I'm afraid of going back for another test. I guess what I need to know, is...

A couple months before I started to get these red dots I had formed what seems to be a callus between my index finger and thumb on both hands in the exact same spot. No, I do not use tools or anything else that would cause these to form. I shave them with a razor and they return after about a week. I mention this because I believe this is all related. On a side note, I have had many other symptoms that started at about the same time as the red dot issues.

If he's been hitting a stem it won't be long before it looks like his thumbs are burned up on the side toward the index finger. It's not actually a burn, it's caused by the almost-constant flicking of lighters, but it looks like a burn. If he's not too far into it yet it may just look like an oddly-placed callus Burns on the lips too . . . it's often difficult to remember which end of the stem is cool.

My son (just turned 4) has incredibly flat feet, no arch at all, he wears arch supports made by a pediatric ortotics specialist in his shoes or a high top orthapedic boot with ankle support if walking for any length of time. Here's how to tell.. Have her put her feet in some finger paints and get her to walk on a piece of paper (it's fun for her and you'll be able to see what you are looking for. This site has some pictures to compare... http://www.aofas.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?

I have developed a number of itchy red bumps on various places on my body. Every once in awhile I develop hard bumpy red skin on my right index finger that is sore to the touch, but usually just goes away after awhile. It almost looks like a callus. It's annoying an hurts when I touch or bend my finger but eventually the bumps go away and everything is fine. Some of the new bumps kinda feel the same though, it's similar pain when touched. Recently I noticed similar bumps on my heel.

I started taking synthroid ten years ago. At the time, I had BEAUTIFUL long hair. (As a matter of fact,I was voted "best hair" in high school, asked to be a "hair model" for a tv commercial, was asked for my hair for a wig so I did and cut two "pigtails" each one enough for a wig, hairdressers would tell me they'd never seen so much hair, everyone told me how lucky I was, people stopped me to ask what i used on my hair, etc., etc.
