Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have joint pain and stiffness in knees, ankles, fingers and shoulders . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like friction to bony prominence , trauma and sun burn . I would suggest you to elevate your shoulder while lying down and apply cold compresses . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist . Doctor will examine physically to check tenderness and consistency to rule out other condition . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics if it got infected or may drain surgically under local anesthesia . Do not touch it again and again or pop it .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
