Any Idea What A Hard, Painful, Dry Bump On Side Of Finger Is?

I have a hard bump on the side of my right pointer finger. It is on the skin next to my nails, not on a joint. It seems dry and calloused and is about the size of a small bead. It doesn't hurt, and has been on my finger for 4 months or more. It hasn't seemed to grow or reduce in size. I can't seem to find anything on the internet that describes what I have. Any idea what it is? Thanks. xx

Dear Sir ,

It can be just a bony outgrowth or a healed corn kind of lesion . You should see a drmatologist.
