Brief Answer:
Please give more details and post photographs for possible diagnosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.

Additional information can help me to assist you further:
- Was there any insect bite?
- Was the slight lump that you observed yesterday was red?
- Is there any swelling of the hand/redness?
- Any other relevant information?
- Any medical problems like diabetes that you have?

Please post clear photographs; this helps for on-the-spot diagnosis sometimes.

The commonest causes are cellulitis spread due to virulent bacteria. The pain can be due to involvement of the nerve in the inflammatory process.
Same thing causing the referred pain in the elbow.

Please give feedback and photographs.
