3. Lumps
You might notice lumps of tissue forming on or around your hand. This is usually one of the later stages of Dupuytren’s contracture. It will almost always occur following the dimpling and thickening stages of the condition. These lumps will often be small. Some are painful while others are not, and the pain — or lack thereof — can vary between cases. While most of these lumps aren’t painful, they will almost always be sensitive to the touch.
If you notice these lumps that are very sensitive to touch, they could be a sign of Dupuytren’s contracture. It’s easy to differentiate between these and cysts as cysts are often not sensitive to the touch. That said, you should get the official opinions of your doctor as well as a dermatologist so that you can get a proper diagnosis of what underlying issue is causing these lumps.
