Time to play... diagnose my hypochondria!!

:D

So I've got this little bumpy thing on my middle finger of my right hand, on the inside that faces my index finger, about half the size of a dime.

It's like a rash but it's not red, nor even pink... It goes away sometimes if I put Carmex on it, then comes back itching. I obligingly scratch it, and it becomes terribly rough, like alligator skin. Then eventually the raised bumpy bits turn kind of brown and (erg) fall off. It goes away for a while, then comes back again.

It's a tumor, I just know it...! :eyes:

3. Are you right handed?

It's probably just a callus from the way you hold your pen/pencil.

4. That's kinda my thinking too...

...you know, if it isn't an early symptom of West Nile. Or hanta. Or whatever the hell I'm supposed to be afraid of this week.

5. could be leprosy....we'll know for sure when your finger falls off.

6. Try vitamin E

Poke a small hole in the capsule and rub it over the site for a month at night before you go to bed for a month. I bet it will disappear.
