Finger joint growth

Common Questions and Answers about Finger joint growth

finger

Avatar m tn Not sure if this goes under skin growth or not, but on my left ring finger, at the top joint, is a small bluish/purple lump. It's painless and soft to the touch and doesn't really seem to be growing or moving anywhere. I've also had this for at least a month. I've had warts before and this definitely doesn't seem like one. My questions is, should I be worried? Also, could it be cancer? Thanks in advance for the help.
Avatar f tn I have this hard sometimes painful growth on my right middle finger. I have no clue what it is and its irritating. I've only had it for a few months and it is the only one I have.
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm an 18 year old female with pretty bad joint pain (at least that's what I'm assuming it is.) When I was about 10 or 11, I discovered I was missing a knuckle on my right ring finger. My finger was then about the same size as my pinky, and seemed like it had a 'shrinking' effect, due to the fact all my other fingers were growing and my ring finger was not. I don't remember much about what the doctors said about it, as it was 8 years ago.

Avatar n tn Almost two decades ago, I noticed three small pink bumps at the beginning of my cuticle. Over time the condition has spread very slowly up my finger. It is now nearly to the first joint. It doesn't itch, or hurt in any way until it cracks and bleeds. I have tried everything over the years! It seems to have cycles of flare and times when it almost goes away by itself. I don't have it on any other part and my wife has never contracted it.
6669309 tn?1462648142 Four Years old, chiahuahua/pug mix, Rusty, a family member at our house as developed a growth on his back leg. Please look at this picture and give your opinion as to what it looks like to you?? Have you ever seen anything like it? A mole? A wort? Thank you so much.
Avatar m tn Hello, From the symptoms it looks like cysts and the possibility of myxoid cysts cannot be ruled out. Myxoid cyst is a growth usually occurring on the finger. These cysts are believed to form from deteriorated tissues. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn I have a bump on my right index finger that appears to be like a blister under the skin. Its on the side of my finger near the first joint. It appears to be filled with clear fluid, like a blister. Its painful when I press on it. I had these a few months ago on the same finger and also on my right thumb and left index finger, but when they went away I thought that was it, but now they're coming back. Any ideas what these are?
5189993 tn?1364912157 My entire palm-side of my middle finger is purple from the 3rd joint up and has large purple growths from that point to my palm. Due to multiple surgeries, etc., I have considerable loss of feeling in the tip of my finger and cannot straighten it completely.
Avatar n tn I think my problem is actually just deep to the skin, but it results in thickening of the overlying skin. On the radial aspect of my index DIP joint I have a small patch of intact thickened skin, about 3-4mm in diameter which is slightly tender. It is not discolored. It is not a wart as there is no crusting and the skin lines pass over it in a normal pattern without displacement.
Avatar f tn ve been having minor pain in the smallest joint on my fourth finger on my right hand. Because I work seven days a week during the school year, I never saw the doctor. But it started getting worse. It hurts, if my fist is closed, to bump the knuckle from above. It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts).
Avatar f tn All of a sudden the piece of skin in between my thumb and finger has become stiff. I don't think it would be trigger finger but i might be wrong. It won't go either. What can I do? It's hard to stretch my thumb away from the hand and spread my fingers without it hurting.

Avatar m tn m a house painter and recently brought my hand down onto the sharp point of one of my painting tools. It cut into the side if my rt hand middle finger, middle joint (between the knuckle and the lower joint) It bled a bit and swelled up of course. That was over two weeks ago. I still have noticable swelling in that joint, especially on the rt side, and considerable pain. The rest of my hand hurts lately, probably from compensating for the lack of use of the middle finger. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn I'm 28 and I have joint pain in my finger joints and I feel it in my wrists sometimes too. And in the digits of my feet (I think). I have no RF in my blood and the doctor said just take Ibuprofen. I am slightly over weight because of bulimia. I've had gluten sensitivity problems (makes me sluggish and hungry). AND labyrinthitus in the past months. No thyroid problems. Not diabetic. Feeling it might be Fibromyalgia ? I'm lost.
Avatar f tn severe fatigue, difficulty losing weight, weight gain, memory loss, hair loss, muscle fatigue, hair growth, buffalo hump, and increased anxiety and depression. Doctor changed my thyroid medication from cytomel to synthroid. I have a 25 year history of psoriasis and recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis due to joint swelling in a left finger and left ankle. Endocrinologist did these test and here are the results. Any assistance in translating them would be greatly appreciated.

Avatar n tn Anyways, about 2-3 months ago one appeared on the middle knuckle of my pointer finger. Previous experience with them has shown me not to pop them as if they were a pimple or blister and that they will go away on their own if left alone, so that is what I did. However, over time it never went away, it only grew. It is very unsightly and had a hard cap on the top and looked very much like a large pimple that could be popped, except the surface is hard of course.
Avatar n tn have just noticed a growth on top of my right shoulder.It is not painful.Any ideas,suggestions.
1427077 tn?1282913207 I have a lump on the top joint of my index finger which has been there for about 2 months now. Sometimes its sore but now always & its starting to get bigger. Is it worth getting it checked out?
Avatar n tn About 2 weeks..I noticed a tiny finger-like growth on my labia minora, and within a few days some more came about on the right labia. They are all tiny finger like growths, on occasion there is a slight itching, and there hasnt been any changes to the situation, they havent gone away nor have more come. Im studying abroad right now, and Its very difficult to find an english speaking doctor, so i was wondering if there was anyway to say what it might be..an std?
Avatar n tn When there is a capsular injury to a joint in finger, it is best to give the RICE treatment for a few days such as rest, ice application, compression bandage (you can strap the injured finger with the neighboring finger) and elevation (keep hands elevated on a pillow at bed time). You can also take an anti-inflammatory pain killer. Once the injury settles down and there is less pain you have to start physiotherapy.
Avatar n tn We worked at a printing company and one day while cleaning a part of the printing press, three of his fingers got caught in the press - his pointer and middle finger were cut off in the same area that you describe (the first joint area including the nail) and his ring finger had an avulsion I believe they called it - where the skin and all the tissue down to the bone were basically stripped away from the bone.
Avatar f tn any amount of swelling in a small joint such as a finger joint can cause quite a bit of discomfort. It sounds like you "jammed" the joint(s). It can take a long time to resolve. Like 6-9 months. You could try soaking it in hot water to loosen things up and try to pull and put tension on the finger to loosen up the joint. Pull the finger slowly, steadily, and gently straight out. I have found this can help loosen it up and relieve some pressure in the joint.
Avatar n tn You could have injured interphalangeal joint of your finger. The multiple joint involvement could also be due to infection or due to reactive arthritis. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn Wish you had received an answer I have the same symptom. Index finger near the joint with a burning sensation, not when touching it but when carrying a plastic shopping bag or when my purse handles lay across the finger between the first and middle knuckle.
