Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Cause Bumps On Your Hands, Like Skin Issues?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

I have had these bumps appearing on my hands, both are on knuckles. They are more skin issues, one looks almost like a wort, and the other one is red and a smaller version but growing. They have appeared quickly, like over the past two weeks. I was diagnosed about a month ago and started medication, but my pain is still there with no improvement whatsoever.

Might be a Rheumatoid Nodule...I had a few removed a couple years ago. Methotrexate can aggravate them, so please check with your RA provider. Mine did not hurt, but became huge and quite freakish. Good Luck!
