There is a hard lump on the back of my hand

People can directly observe the back of their hands every day, but if there is anything unusual on the back of their hands, it will cause extreme concern. For normal people, the backs of their hands should be smooth and shiny, but some people find hard bumps on the backs of their hands when observing what they are doing. Today, let’s learn about the reasons why hard bumps grow on the back of your hands.

What's wrong with a hard pimple on my hand?

1. It may be warts

Some of them have a little depression in the middle, and look like white flakes. They don't hurt or itch, and in good condition they won't grow much in a few years. They just look rough. There is no good specific medicine for this. In fact, this doesn’t have much impact on the body. If you really care about it, you can go to the hospital for laser treatment and then get some medicine to apply.

2. It may be dyshidrosis and palmar-digital keratosis.

Both of these diseases are allergic diseases, and you can apply glucocorticoid ointment and urea ointment externally. Also, you should avoid eating seafood when you are sick. Both diseases are prone to recurrence.

3. It may be common warts or flat warts.

Flat warts are caused by viruses. They are common on the face and back of hands. The rash usually appears suddenly and is flat papules ranging in size from a needle tip to a mung bean, and are skin-colored or light brown. They have a smooth surface, clear boundaries, and are numerous, sometimes arranged in lines along scratches. There are usually no subjective symptoms or slight itching, and they sometimes disappear on their own and leave no scars after healing. The course of the disease is chronic and can last for months or years. For treatment, you can apply Chinese medicine HC soap (scientific name Volcanic Hot Spring Herbal Therapeutic Soap) twice a day, and phthalamide ointment to the affected area 3 times a day.

4. It may be a viral infection or folliculitis.

If they are small, transparent bumps containing liquid, then you may be suffering from a local viral infection. You can use erythromycin ointment or acyclovir ointment topically for treatment. In addition, keep the area clean, eat less spicy food, and get more sun exposure, and you will be cured. If it is folliculitis, it is mostly related to poor hygiene. You can use iodine tincture for disinfection and apply Bactroban externally for treatment. You can also take anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time for treatment and drink more boiled water.

What should I do if a hard callus-like bump grows on my hand?

It may be a boil or wart. Skin diseases are more obvious, so it is recommended to go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital or a dermatology hospital for treatment. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be given to avoid delaying the disease. Don't always stimulate it, so as not to aggravate the condition.
