What Causes Bump Near Tip Of Finger?

My mom just got a little bump near the tips of her finger, just below the beginning of the nail. It s full of a clear liquid that she said feels like a gel. When she popped it, more of that gel came out, along with a small amount of blood. What is this?

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

based from your description it could be a cystic lesion which has the tendency to recur if not removed or drained properly. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
