Reason For Hard Bump Between Knuckles On Index Finger?
Hard bump between the 2 knuckles on index finger. It appeared suddenly last week & not going away. No pain and I just worked the 24 Hours of Daytona-I joke about it being a muscle developed working so hard for a week without doing anything like that for a long time.

bump near the knuckles that is painless
3 factors
1)knuckles is near a joint its called mcp joint
2)its painless
3) and you have a history of strenuous activity
points out to a ganglion cyst
its a non cancerous fluid filled mass occuring near joints after trauma or strenuous activity
if its not painful treatment is just plain observation
it usually resolves on its own
aspiration of the cyst can be an option but theres a 50% chance itll go back
