Looks like it might be a harmless myxoid cyst which come and go as they please. I have one on each hand and can be connected to connective tissue disease. X

If there's no injury then I assume Lupus. I don't get many now after being on immunosuporesant and biologic for two years. Sometimes extra moisturising helps and I wear gloves for any housework. That's when I can do it lol

I get very similar sores, I had them biopsied a few years ago by a dermatologist and he diagnosed me with vasculitis. Hydroxy has cleared most of them up, but I still get breakthrough sores fairly often.

I have had similar on big toes for a few years but have not had a diagnosis as it doesn’t cause problems. Good luck
