An Odd Lump?

While not paying much attention, I was rubbing my hands and found a abnormality. At the base of the right hand's ring finger, there's a odd lump. I've never noticed it before.

I'm pretty sure long ago, that finger got "locked up" in a football accident. But what is it? Should I be worried? Well, nevertheless, I am worried...

I guess I forgot to mention I'm one of those uninsured individuals....

It is probably a ganlion cyst (fluid-filled). Any doctor can incise this and let it drain, but it may continue to return. Other than it being uncomfortable, the ganglion cyst doesn't really cause long-term effects. However, you do need to see a doctor regardless to rule out a possible malignancy (unlikely, but be on the safe side).

There may be an income-based clinic near you where you can go.

Consult a surgeon.You may not have to worry.

could be that it was fractured or broken before or a cyst or so many thing get a Doctor if it worries you so
