Lump on finger?

[cocothomas1234]

So I'm 18 weeks, although I doubt if this has anything to do with being pregnant!? About a week ago I noticed a red bump come up at the side of my right index finger, it's on the joint but the joint doesn't hurt. The bump is quite raised and a little red. It's just sitting not doing very much at the moment, don't really want to book a GP appointment for something so silly. Anyone had anything like this and any ideas on how to get rid of it/what it could be? I don't think it's a cyst it's got more of a pimple feel to it (but it's definitely not). I've had a good look in it and there's nothing in it and I haven't rubbed it on anything it's not got a hard callous top on it. Thanks in advance ladies! x

Don't wear any rings, in case the rest of your knuckles swell up, I seem to remember having something like that in one of my pregnancy and having to ditch rings, sorry can't remember what it was, and it's gone.

hopefully someone will be along to help.

Hello! I see this is an old post. Just wondering if you ever got any answered as to what this was. I have the same exact thing on my finger and am about 6 weeks along. Don’t know if it’s related but just curious you had the same thing.

This is crazy - I have the exact same thing on the middle finger of my right hand. It's slightly blue, slightly red, and hurts when I put pressure on it.

Planning on briefly showing it to the GP when I have my 25 wk appt on Friday, if she doesn't throw me out for trying to squeeze two things into one appointment...

I have one on my middle finger and it really hurts when I put pressure on it. It's right where I hold a pen and an eyeliner brush. I am 5 weeks pregnant but I never thought it could have something to do with that!!

I believe it is called perniosis

Could be a ganglion cyst? I had one a while ago at the base of my ring finger, right on the joint. They’re harmless and usually disappear on their own.

It is possible! I also found dyshidrosis also presents with similar symptoms. I alway used to get a random bump that was somewhat painful/itchy but this year I got about 4-5 on the outside of my index finger. Dyshidrosis is what best fits the description for me

I have these and am currently 5 weeks 6 days. I have about 10 spread over my fingers but they don't itch, are just a bit painful if they have pressure put on them. Did anyone get a diagnosis on them from a midwife etc?
