Hardening skin on finger joint
My skin has hardened there recently, if compared with my other hand's finger it feels a little hard. When i put that finger in my ear there a dull ache in finger too, what can it be?
Apart from little finger other fingers also have that thing on that particular hand but not that much as it is in the little finger.
It's is just hardened skin, if you do some work which involves friction to that area repeatedly, that is when it happens, it's nothing to worry about.
If you have stiffness and pain in the fingers soon after getting up from bed in the morning, then you will have to get some tests done.
