Suggest Treatment For Small Bumps On The Toe

I have these bumps too, but they aren t itchy. I ll get one, usually on the top of my toe. The dermatologist told me a few years ago that it was synovial fluid and to stick a needle in it to get it out, but that it would probably come back. What is the medical name for this type of bump?

Hi,

The medical name of the condition you suffer is digital mucous cyst. You consult dermatologist or orthopedic surgeon.

I would suggest....

-Massage,hot compresses and soaks
-Occlusive treatment with topical steroids and Cordran tape
-Home remedies - Salves, poultices, and plasters
-Application of heparin cream
-Silver nitrate
-Chemical cauterization with phenol
-Digital compression, if the cyst is soft..

I hope this would help you..

Thanks.
