Can Moveable Lump On Thumb And Toe Be Related To Nerve?
I have a small, soft, moveable lump on my thumb at the base, near the webbing part. Normally it does not hurt unless direct pressure is put on top of the lump. I have a very similar lump at the base of my big toe, on the top of my toe, on the joint. Both seem to be connected directly to a nerve, because direct pressure causes excruciating pain to shoot up my arm or up my foot.

these are all neurofibromas that are nothing but benign tumors of the peripheral nerves!
generally does not need any treatment but if the size is very large or inconvenience is not adjustable it should be surgically excised1
sometimes the condition is associated with tumors in other organs.
please get investigated foe that also!
