Hello everyone, I feel hopeless and helpless. I've learned so much from reading through this forum and thank you to each of you for sharing your experiences. I am a a mom with littles ones and just trying to cope. I have these nodules in both my hands, I think it is early stages. I don't have any comprehensive insurance and when I called it would be $500 - 600 for just a hand examination (not including any images) and from their perspective and from reading through people's experiences I think most likely they would just send me home for a wait and see approach. I can do a physical and was wondering if anyone knows any family practitioners who may know about DD? Or if they have any recommendations of good hand certified surgeons that they trust? I don't know what's going on. I have a small circular type growth on my right palm, and directly in line right under my ring finger there's a small patch of discoloration. It is very faint and not a nodule. Curious if a darker pigmentation that looks to be under the skin can turn into a nodule? I have a bump like structure on my right PIP joint. I've been spending hours just trying to find pictures. I'm sorry if this posting isn't coherent, feeling very scared. Thank you for sharing and helping. I hope I can do the same.
