What can be done for red, swollen, and painful bump on palm?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a bump on my palm that has been there for about a month and a half. It is red, hurts when I press on it, swollen, and kind of burns every once in a while.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

First, I need to know if you have been dealing with any chemicals that might have caused allergy and changes in the local skin. Plus, any new cosmetic started recently? Stress? If nothing, then, it is a case of atopic dermatitis. But first you should determine the primary cause.

For the moment, I can only advise to:

1. Wash with warm water and soap.

2. Soak in warm water, vinegar, baking soda for at least 15 minutes.

3. Rinse well, dry well.

4. Apply triple antibiotic ointment in the morning and at bedtime, during the day, apply hand moisturizer lotion.

Looking forward to get the required additional information.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
