Suggest Treatment For Swollen Nodules In Wrist And Elbow

Yes, I have never even thought to ask a Dr. about nodules. However, my left arm is completely covered with small nodules from the wrist up to the elbow - only on the top side of the forearm. Most of them are small and raised and the ugliest sight I ve ever encountered. I must wear long sleve shirts to cover them because I m so embarrassed when someone asks about them. I never raised the question until now? Can you give me any suggestion on how these are removed. I have been able to remove one or two by getting my fingers under the nodule and twist until it falls off. However, I don t think it would work on several of the larger ones. If you can make any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. PS: How do I know how to pay you? Can

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of swollen nodules on the wrist, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply ice on the lesions twice daily.
3. Take an NSAID(Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like Ibuprofen for 5-7 days.

If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
