Having Itchy Bump On Hand. How To Get Rid Of It?
I have a skin colored bump on my right hand. it has been there for over 6months the doctor said it just looks like an age bump.. i'm 45 but it gets so itchy some times. it is getting bigger . I bought wart stuff and tried to get rid of the bump but it did nothing so clearly it is not a wart. :( how can I get rid of it he suggested a little polysporin tried that and that also did nothing.

Hi,
Skin colored bump on you right hand may hyperkeratotic lesion or callocity.
As there is itching , it can be lichen simplex chronicus.
It may be due to continuous contact with something.
Or friction with some object.
Or itchy plaque.. LSC .
You consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis.
By clinical examination he wil come to some coclusion.
He may prescribe keratolytic oint with steroid cream.
And antihistaminics with short course of steroids.
Avoid soap bath, you can use dettol liquid in bath.
I hope you got my answer.
Regard.
