I have the same humps on both my pointer fingers and on one middle finger. Mine look exactly like yours.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis for the last 7 yrs. I had these humps before my “official” diagnosis. I think these are common. I also have them in my soft tissue is my arms. About your nails, I have taken Biotin for about 6 months and finally my nails are getting harder Best price is Costco.
Best wishes to you.

Are yours painful. The bumps on my finger are painful on and off but mostly on now. They ache and burn.

I am going to ask about it. The weather is making my index finger hurt more. Last night I was using some Mentholatum salve to help me breathe .. tree pollen is heavy here .. and I decided to put a light coating on my finger where it hurts and on my finger nails. It helped both.

I have had some abdominal surgeries and have had bits of my stomach removed and a gastric bypass to repair hiatal hernia.. and to put my intestines back where they belong .. and a bit more. I do not absorb vitamins and minerals as I should. Biotin is in my chewable vitamin. My doctor said eat more protein. .. I am low on it. Beef liver, tuna, salmon, legumes .. good sources of both protein and biotin.. so I try to eat more of them.

No Costco here. .. we have Sam's Club. Get lots of things there I am sure about same price as Costco .. seemed so when we visited my brother and his wife in Spanaway Washington a few years back .

Thank you,
