Hi - for 3 or 4 years now I have had this problem with an itchy bump at the base of my ring finger - I asked my doctor about it and he didn't really say too much about it. So, over the years I have just ignored it - just don't wear my wedding ring and hope it goes away. It seems to have gotten a bit thicker over the years and still itchy. I should maybe ask about it again but I was just wondering if others had the same symptoms initially? How is this condition diagnosed? Thanks!
