A Lump At The Base Of My Finger

[Tilly2]

I have developed a lump/nodule at the base of my first finger, left hand.

It doesn't hurt when I move my fingers but if I press on it or catch it, when holding something, the pain is excruciating.

It seems to be getting bigger.

Does it need treatment of some kind?

Dr Sqad will be along soon. :-))

It's ok, Sandy. I have just googled it and read the relevant information. I should have done that first. :-)

[Sqad]

Almost certainly Heberden's Nodes..........Google it.

Associated with osteoarthritis.

Leave it alone.

Ah! if it is on the palm side of your finger then razza is correct, if it is not I am correct.....;-)

Palm side, Sqad. Looks like Razza has it.

Thank you both.
