AboutUribe Expertise I can help with a diagnosis (please attach a picture), and no more; I DO NOT PRESCRIBE MEDICATION over the internet. My mother language is Spanish; my English is good but not excellent; please have patience.
Experience 35 years as professor in Medicine; I´m professional from the Antioquia University and I´ve travel around the world specially to meetings.
Question Starting probably 5 to 7 years ago, I started finding small (1-2 mm) sized, skin-colored bumps on the back of my right hand. My left hand also has a number of them now. The number of these spots has grown over the last 5 years to 20-30 on my right hand and 10-20 on my left hand. They aren’t noticeable except under certain lighting causing shadows. Each bump is slightly raised and slightly lighter than the surrounding skin. They’re perfectly painless and just as soft as the surrounding skin. I tried several times to scrape one of them off, and it came off easily and left a raw and slightly bleeding patch of skin. After a week or two, the bumps grew back just as they were before I touched them. Having searched for answers, I still can’t find out what these bumps are. Any ideas?

I don´t prescribe by internet.
