Large bump on right middle finger right side.

[SethXv]

I had a small semi painful bump on my right middle finger right side that is now pretty big uh, its numb now doesn't hurt. Near the nail its going greenish. I think its an infection of some kind I'm wondering if I can let this run its course or if I should go see the doctor.

i have a lump on the left side of my middle finger (right hand) it has been there for about 2 months i have been able to ignore it but now its heaps bigger and really sore to touch is it a infection should i put a needle into it and see what happens?

How are you? Is the lump soft or hard? Is it painful when you straighten or bend your finger? This could be a Ganglion cyst. Usually this presents as: a soft immovable bump that changes size. The swelling may appear over time or appear suddenly and cause some degree of pain, usually following acute or repetitive trauma. The pain is usually nonstop, aching, and made worse by joint motion.Many cysts can disappear without any treatment at all. Though, aspiration or surgical removal are usually done.
If this persists, refrain from manipulating it to prevent infection. It would be good to see your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

How are you? How long have you been experiencing this? What other symptoms are present? Were you wearing a copper ring at this finger? Haven't been for the green color,   it could be a ganglion cyst. It would be good to see a hand doctor for further evaluation and management. Take care and keep us posted.
