Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
This kind of lump on finger can be due to infective abscess or ganglion (tendon swelling).
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of finger and x ray and ultrasound examination of finger to confirm te diagnosis.
Surgical removal of lump is the treatment of choice.
So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
