Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Finger

I have a small bump on my left index finger - on the first knuckle. It reminds me of a wart, but seems to come from under the skin and looks clear like a blister, but it is hard. It only hurts when you apply pressure or bump it. I don t want to buy anything for it until I know what it is.

Hi,

These bumps are Gaberdine nodes denoting degenerative changes in osteoarthritis.

Avoiding extra stress, pain medicines &surgery in few cases is the management schedule.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
