What Causes Sore Bumps On Knuckles?
Question: I have Fibromyalgia with lots of other auto issues . I have been have bumps for years come up on my kuckes and not itchy just a lttle sore. With all my other problems i have put off asking about them but tonight its really got me wondering cause they are going to start testing me for Lupus and MS. I will send a picture.
Brief Answer:
Looks like Garrods pads .
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking at the pictures, it doesn't look like autoimmune rashes that come with Lupus. But still until and unless tested nothing can be said. Testing for autoimmune condition is a good move since you say they have been coming from quite a time.
If I were your treating doctor, I would also like to rule out garrods pads also . Has any dermatologist seen you ?
