Suggest Remedy For Thick Knuckle Pad On Ring Finger

Hi there, I seem to have a really thick knuckle pad on my right ring finger and i really want to get rid of it. Im 15 and i have only really noticed it about 7 years ago. My biggest concern is that i think it is spreading and i feel very embarassed when someone questions me what it is. I have been to a dermotologist 2 times now and they have both said that it will go away in the future. I have had a biopsy and it was just to clarify that it was a knuckle pad. I really want some treatment or even surgery will do!

knuckle pads may be idiopathic or associated with other diseases (as Dupuytren's disease of the hand). in this case, a surgical intervention may stimulate disease spreading and proliferation. unless you work as "ring" fashion model, avoiding a surgery is always better. if you don't think so, you may refer to a hand/plastic surgeon.
