Have been getting the odd one or two which started about three months ago. They are red, itchy and don't develop into anything, they don't weep, they just go into a smaller less itchy, tender spot. In the last four weeks, it's got worse where I am waking up with new ones 2-3 times per week, even have a cluster of them on one finger. I did wonder if it was a wart but they don't have a red dot blood supply which warts usually have.

Shall make an appointment to see a Dermatologist but wondered if any MNer had experienced this or knew what it was? I have not changed any washing powder, my diet, etc, nothing has in fact changed.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much VeryBusyMum! I have today woken up with 5 more of these spots. Have looked at the link and will start off with treating one hand with the 1% hydrocortisone while I look for a Dermatologist.

This is what is so fab about MumNet. Ask and you shall find out/be offered constructive advice. Thanks again.
