Lump on pinky finger

This week I've noticed a lump on my pinky finger. It's not hard and if I pull the skin tight is seems to "disappear" but then pops back up. It looks like the colour of a vein so I was worried about bother a GP incase it's just a normal vein and I've wasted their time but I do get quite bad health anxiety so if anyone has any ideas that would be much appreciated.

Photo attached.

Just looks like you've knocked it or it's some loose skin. What in particular are you worried about ?

Does the finger stick out sideways or curl forward? If so, it could be Dupuytren contracture

Definitely not a knock as you can push it down and it doesn't feel bruised. I'm a natural worried about everything I suppose, googling has suggested allsorts including a clot which sounded worrying.

The finger doesn't curl, no.
