Dermatology Question

[boomhauer]

This is an odd question, but I'm basically a self-professed skin freak. I have these 2, barely noticeable (to anyone but me) little skin colored to light red bumps on the knuckle of my thumb. No pain, discomfort or itching, but they're annoying me.

What in the heck could they be and how do I get rid of them?

No dermatologists or children of here?

Not sure if any dermatologists here, but do know there are kids, though they probably would not know what they were. Best bet would be to see the former.

I used to work as a clinical assistant to a dermatologist.... I'm not sure what they could be-if they're not itchy and they don't hurt-it's quite possible that they could be warts or molluscum contagiosum? To be sure, I'd recommend seeing either your regular MD or a dermatologist to put your mind at ease.... GL!

YUCK!

Nope, definitely not the latter from the pics I saw. Ewww - Gross.

Like I said, they're not even noticeable to anyone else but me. They almost look like mosquito bites, but aren't as big, red or itchy. Also, if I bend my thumb, they seem to disappear.

Oh well - I'm sure it's all in my imagination.
