Common Questions and Answers about Index finger callus

Avatar f tn I developed a painful callus on my right side of the index finger about 3 years ago. It's hurts when pressed, not really too noticeable either. The callus will build up, then I will use a pumice to bring it down. Sometimes I'll use the pumice excessively until I break the skin which results in bleeding and a patch of raw skin that burns. At this point the skin will appear almost as a circular dent until the callus part begins its process again.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am not sure if it's a callus or not. 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..
Avatar f tn What you have on your finger is called a callus. This is a thick, hardened layer of skin that has developed as a means of protecting itself from repeated use. I have had one on my knuckle of my index finger for years. I have cut the hard skin off with a pair of scissors, but it just comes back. I have just recently found information of how to get rid of them, I haven't tried it yet, but will definitely have a go.

Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn I have a small, whiteish, bump on my right index finger. It is very sensetive to touch. I first though I had burned my finger but couldn't rember any time I had done so. It has lasted about 10 days getting more sensitive each day though tapering off the last few days and remaining the same. It could be a plantar wart someone said but it is white and does not have much of a raised portion 1/32 of an inch in diameter. What to do?
Avatar n tn I am 31 yrs old female and have had the same problem as long as I can remember myself. 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.
Avatar m tn About a year and a half ago I had a slight sexual encounter with a girl. a couple of weeks before this happened I had had a space open up between my fingernail and the skin of my finger at the cuticle. I touched the girls vagina but did not actually insert my fingers. I'm not sure if the area between my skin and fingernail came in touch with her fluids but a little while later (not sure how long) the area of the fingernail at the cuticle hardened and raised a little bit.
Avatar m tn ve played guitar long enough where I over time developed calluses on my finger tips. However, now for cello I need a callus on the side of my thumb for a certain technique but I don't have time to develop it for weeks or months. If I regularly cut away at my thumb with a razor or something will a callus still build by means of artificial friction ?
Avatar f tn I have a very annoying callus or growth on my right hand ring finger just next to the nail bed it grows to form a hard and rough chunk of yellowish skin and eventually annoys me so much that I remove it either by biting or using nail scissors! When it's the rough skin it doesn't really cause me pain but when I remove a lot of it it it tends to feel rough but soft and starts to feel swollen and sore. It doesn't matter how many times I cut it away it just keeps growing back!
Avatar n tn Absolutely not. There is NOTHING that would make fingering a risk - cuts, scrapes, warts, callouses don't matter. It is never a risk. If you had a wound on your finger that would allow HIV in, it would be bleeding so heavily that you could not possibly finger someone. You would be in the hospital getting stitches or having surgery.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn On 2/4 I injured my pinkie finger on my left hand. I expected that a callus would form. It appears to be fractured at the tip of the finger near the nail bed and still moves at the suspected fracture? Any tips on what to expect?
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar f tn I usually rest my pencil on my ring finger while writing and i write really fast and tend to press really hard. throughout the years, the size of this bump has gradually increased. it’s nothing like fluids inside , it’s more like as if my bone is popping out and my finger just looks very uneven. i tried massaging it and it makes it softer but is there a faster solution?
Avatar n tn on the side of my middle finger i have an red tiny bump and it has an brownish head, ive had it for aout a month it doesn't bother me at all but it just feels weird it doesn't itch or sting or hurt in any way. so please help!!!
Avatar n tn On my left hand, my index finger is longer than my middle finger, my ring finger is shorter than my middle finger. On my left had, my middle finger is shorter than both other fingers (ring & middle). It's nver caused any problems but I've always wondered why my Mom & I had it.
Avatar m tn I am 23 year old female and have enchondroma on my left hand index finger. Should i get it operated? What diffrence will i feel after it has been operated.
Avatar n tn my index finger is geting swollen in the middle and it stings when bend it what can be the cause of it
Avatar n tn My right index finger has been swollen for a month now. the knuckle is painful to the touch, but i'm able to bend it. Any ideas what it could be?? Thanks for any help!
Avatar m tn I took a puck off of my right index finger and didn't really notice any immediate pain. Over the next couple days I noticed that I couldn't form a fist because my finger was very swollen and hurt to bend that far. Upon further observation I noticed that my first finger knuckle had become very wide, but the rest of my finger remained regular size. It is also very sensitive to touch.
