Hi ,could this be a herpetic whitlow ?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hello everyone , i had these tiny pimples on my index finger for a couple days it's not painful or itchy , just noticed it after friction with some instrument , I'm a dental health care resident , so i went to see the dermatologist in our hospital and he said it might be just irritation, for me it doesn't matter if it's herpes or not it's just annoying for me not knowing what's there
