A recent viral post about a man discovering small holes on his finger—claiming doctors locked him in a room and called police—sparked widespread panic. However, medical experts confirm there’s no evidence supporting those dramatic claims.

In reality, small bumps or pits on fingers are often linked to common conditions like dyshidrotic eczema, contact dermatitis, bacterial or parasitic infections, or pitted keratolysis. Causes range from allergies and irritants to moisture or rare parasites. If you notice similar symptoms, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis.
