7 years ago I noticed a small growth on my hand on the knuckle of the finger next to my pinky.  In the center was a small red dot that looked as though I had stuck my knuckle with a staple.  It never hurt and remained the same size and had the same appearance until earlier this year.  It has started to get larger and hurt a little.  Also, where there was one small red dot in the center, there are now three.  What can this be?
HI, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-IN my opinion, this lump on the finger appears to a ganglion, as it never hurts you. This could increase in no. due to the trauma during daily usage. And the same has happened in your case.3-Dear, cause of this lump is -synovial cystic growth ? Mostly due to synovitis due to many reasons of which trauma is the common cause along with TB synovitis.5-If you worry I would advise you to consult an ER Surgeon-doctor, who would rule out the medical causes, and would excise the tumor .6-I would advise you to act fast, as it is growing in number and is cause to worry, but not dangerous and could be treated as told above.7-Hope this would solve you query to your satisfaction.8-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor. Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!
