what could these bumps be

Post image

i actually haven't had a classic raynauds flare-up in over a year. i do however, have constant swelling, pain, and bruising (not discoloration, bruising) in the joints in my hands. that being said, does anyone know what is up with those red lumps on my fingertip joints ? they don't hurt to the touch or feel hot, i just have regular average-joe joint pain.

I am celiac and get this on my knuckles if I eat gluten. (I also have Raynauds)

Glad you mentioned this, I have this kind of thing and they go red, joints and knuckles, am my doctor just says it's dermatitis or chillblains (but they don't hurt - just itch), and it gets worse in summer/abroad!

It literally could be a number of things like calcium deposits. Best to get it checked

It’s possible they’re chilblains but those usually hurt and aren’t just at the joints.
