I've been noticing some black vertical lines on my thumbnails for quite some timemaybe about 7 or 8 years. At first, I thought it was just a nutrient thing, but now I've started seeing another thin line on my ring finger. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and how can I get it treated?

Question

Question

I'm noticing these small clear bumps on my fingers and theyre a bit concerning. I started popping them and some clear liquid comes out, but they just fill back up again. They werent that many before, but now Ive got a few more on one finger, the back of my hand, and even my palm. I also see some tiny ones on my right hand, but theyre not big enough to pop. They don't really hurt unless I pop them and they dont itch either. Any idea what might be going on?
