White bumps on the hands may be caused by several different factors:
1. These bumps could be small cysts caused by sebaceous matter buildup on the hands, which may result from skin damage or long-term use of skincare products containing irritating ingredients.
2. Allergies are also a common cause. Contact with allergens such as pollen or certain metals may lead to the appearance of white bumps on the hands, accompanied by symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.
3. Dyshidrotic eczema could also be a possible cause. This condition is usually associated with a weakened immune system or a hot and humid environment.
4. Other diseases such as eczema and common warts may also cause similar symptoms.
To accurately identify the cause and receive proper treatment, it is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for relevant examinations to determine the underlying cause and follow medical advice regarding medication use or lifestyle adjustments. Additionally, keep your hands clean and dry, and avoid excessive friction or squeezing to prevent worsening of the condition.
