They may be the result of some sort of alergic reaction, but only a doctor can diagnose this problem. if you intend on seeing your primary care physician about htis problem, I'd recommend keeping some sort of record of when they occur and what you're doing at the time of their appearance, plus any other symptoms you may be experiencing when they show up.

Yeah, I'm considering that. I just wanted to know if anyone's ever experience it, and what it was. Thanks for the advice.

I agree with post two. It could be some sort of contact dermatitis, which I've experienced myself. A dermatologist can do a patch test, and they'll let you know everything that you are allergic to, so that you can try your best to avoid them. Sometimes, though, it's not that easy. For example, I'm allergic to formaldehyde, but it's in a lot of things, including things such as carpets, so it's kind of virtually impossible to avoid, but as long as I'm not handling it or anything like that, I'm okay.

When I was ten Igot a wort on my finger, my ring finger right wear the ring goes, and my doc said that I will get the bumbs decribed above for now ov and maybe more worts because of having that one. I mainly get them if I don't keep my hands clean. I haven't had any probs with them till here resently. I would just pop them and no more for a fwe months or so. only got a couple at a time. but now for a few moths i been geting them all the time and now my finger tips are relly dry.

Yes, this happened to me too, but they were able to find out why. I was using a cheap bad quality soap that irritated my skin, so I had to replace it as soon as I found out it was causing it.

I had a really bad out brake and made it worse useing bleach in the dish water and now the tips of my fingers are dry cracked and painfull I have a cream I use for my really dry skin its called something like "Hypoginical cream" but I think that that isn't the right name, I have been using it like crazy and leaving out the bleach in the dish soap, bumps are gone but fingers are dry cracked and hurt verry badly.but not as bad as they were. PS, typeing doesn't help but I don't pay any attenchtion to the pain anyways.
