My mother has three hard yellow bumps on one finger . They are painful if touched or bumped. One Dr said it may be gout , but wasn t sure. My mother in the last couple of years has had several occurrences of gout, usually affecting one of her toes. These bumps are not itchy, hot, or flakey and are awful looking. Any idea or treatment ideas? We have tried poking with a needle but nothing happens. Thank you.
