I just noticed these O's knuckles. I don't know what to call them... bumps? Nodules? I wouldn't have thought anything of it but they're on multiple fingers on both hands. Has anyone seen anything like it? I can't tell if it feels like bone or tissue bc he won't hold still.

Warts, maybe?

They don't look like warts. There is no border. Plus it's just on like 4-5 knuckles.

How does he move around? Could he be causing it due to frequent rubbing?
And how does it feel? Does it hurt him? Does it feel like a pea sized deposit under the skin and move around? If it moves around, it might be a calcium deposit. But I'd bring it up.

If it moves around, it might be a calcium deposit. But I'd bring it up. I can't really tell, I think it feels like pointy bone but I can't tell if maybe it moves and I'm just feeling the bone as well and thinking it's pointy bc it's so small? If that makes sense. He does knock on things a lot so I thought maybe something to do with trauma, but otherwise he just crawls. He doesn't like his hands touched so it's hard to tell if me touching it bothers him. He can't say or show me if it hurts and has a decreased sense of pain anyway. I tried to google and found a thing called knuckle pads, then posted in a group and the only suggestion was arthritis.
