I think it's weather related, because I have a smaller one on my right index finger again now that's only emerged recently this winter. It went away.

Suffering is not a good look, especially if you do it slowly and painfully, and make weird noises. Methinks it is terminal, but then I always think if it’s fatal…just let it be quick.

"Would you like me to chop your leg off?" I ask them. They soon stop complaining. The sore on my finger has gone. Maybe it was a chilblain.

This would permantly minimize any recurring problem, but would require intensive rehab to get over the loss of the offending arm to which your lumpy finger was attached via a hand you probably were not fond of anyway.

If you haven't already had it dealt with, take the advice of someone who's been there and go directly to a GP and get a referral for diagnosis. I had a small, pin-head-sized bump on a finger that turned out to be a "big-cell tumour" (whatever the hell that is) and grew rapidly to obnoxious proportions. By the time I got it sorted it was a hospital job with general anaesthetic required. Fortunately, I could afford to go private and had a very good surgeon. This critter was in a similar position, on the side of a finger behind the distal interphalangeal joint and of similar appearance in its early days. I just found this while trawling your older posts.
