Could this be Dermatomyositis?

[Soylatte14]

So I have the red bumps that come and go every so often, I have been diagnosed with Reynaud syndrome in the past. My fingers look puffy and these raised bumps show up and it only seem to happen on my right hand

Welcome!

The only person who can make a diagnosis is your doctor. If you are concerned, ask for a referral to a rheumatologist who will run blood tests and take a full clinical history.

I recommend that you write down every illness you have had since childhood, no matter how irrelevant, including anxiety, depression. Keep a diary to note any symptoms.

No diagnosis can be made based on pictures. In itself, Reynaud’s can be benign.

Dermatomyositis has specific symptoms and can occur with SLE. There are specific symptoms and therefore you need to see a rheumatologist!

Even if it is dermatomyositis - and I am NOT making any attempt to diagnose - treatment is very good today so there is no need to worry yourself at this point.

With good wishes,

Ros
