How weird are my music tastes when I listen primarily to military marches, anthems, death metal, and slowed-down versions of video game OSTs?

I like slowed down versions of songs, especially accompanied with lower pitch, also, get Audacity and download some songs and/or sounds, and reverse them, ever listened to the DHMIS videos backwards?

While I don’t need lower pitch, I like it, also higher pitch, try listening to the same song, copied, one with pitch higher and one with pitch lower, it turns them into duets

Occasionally I get these raised, itchy skin coloured bumps on my fingers. They only ever appear by themselves or in a small number (usually up to three). Anyone know what they are? They're definitely not insect bites.

Do they recede on their own? Have you seen them form? I have no idea what they are.

...warts? That sounds like warts. Google finger warts. Is that it?

[hector13]

I get it too, they appear filled with air or some type of plasma or something. Tiny bumps, they usually go away a week or so, and I can pop ‘em.

warts warts warts, got the finger warts

[Great Order]

Not warts. They're literally little smooth bumbs. They resolve themselves after a few days. I don't notice them until they're itchy, at which point they're fully formed. Not sure if they appear really quickly or I'm just oblivious.

[hector13]

Dyshidrosis might be the thing.

Kinda sounds like hives, except for the small number of them.

Yeah, this.  I've learned to just scratch them open so the clear plasma escapes, because it resolves the itchiness and I feel like it takes forever to disappear otherwise.  Sorta like a blood-blister except exceptionally itchy.

It could be related to a condition I used to have on the bottoms of my feet where itchy blisters would grow, along with dry dead skin.  Some sort of fungus, I assume.  How should I know?  What am I, made of money?  Frequent washing kept it in check and eventually cleared it up.

I don't know if the flare ups on my finger joints are related, they seem more like an auto-immune response to pollen.  Maybe.  Who could ever say

^ All the above is just what I heard from a friend of mine, not me.  My body is great and I definitely don't resent it.

Edit: (They do show up in clusters of 1-3 on my fingers, near the joints, and the foot-fungus was over a decade ago so probably unrelated.  They seem to be triggered by stress, general immune-response, or possibly by putting contact-stress on the area by, say, holding 2-liter bottles by the neck.  Again, there is no accessible science on this matter)

Edit2: This probably goes without saying but one should wash the popped blisters, they're an obvious vector for all sorts of infection.

Well dang I just wrote all those words but I think you called it.

It even mentions the pollen/allergy thing AND stress, and is probably what caused my foot condition - still in me, but more under control.  (The "skin cracks" are as unfun as they sound)

Dammit, I know exactly what happened to me.  I was living at my dad's place which has always had a mold problem (he has a constant cough that he refuses to acknowledge).  And here I thought I had some fungal infection during high school, when I was just having an immune reaction to all the damn spores!  Figures.

I think I've had them too but I figured it was some kind of wart.

Now I know it's kobold blisters.
