Have Small Blister On Knuckles. Have An Inexplicable Smooth Skin Growth. What Is This?
Question: I have small white blister type spots on TJ knuckles of mainly my right hand. And a small cluster of them jus below my right middle finger knuckle. They do not hurt or leak whatsoever. Also on my right hand middle finger I have an inexplicable smooth skin growth. It wont go away. I wish I could take a picture and show you My dermatologist doesn't know what it is.
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Blisters can appear in allergic contact dermatitis as well as conditions like Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.
This is a rare condition but I am keeping it as differential, because you mentioned blistering on knuckles which are prone to injury.
I would also like to see how the smooth skin growth appears like.
You can surely take a picture and send me.

I have uploaded the pictures.
Hello,
Thanks for the photographs.
I could see the blisters but the white thickened skin which you mentioned is not visible. It may be related to this blistering condition only.
I request you to answer the following questions.
1. Since when you have there blisters? Is this the first time or you keep getting them.
2.Did you get them after genital herpes?
3.Do you have similar lesions on palms and soles ?
4. Are you prone to develop blisters at any site of injury?
5. Do you have photo sensitivity or recurrent oral ulcers?
6. Is there any scarring on the fingers?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but it is necessary to reach a diagnosis.
