What Causes Flesh Colored Lump On The Joint?
I have a single raised clear, flesh colored circulsr bump with a dark center on the inside of the right pinky joint. No pin no itch. It has been there for a few weeks, getting slightly larger. Used wart cover, it killed skin around it, but lump wasn't removed completely & has returned fully.

Hi! thanks for sharing your health problem with us!
Well, this is a common presentation in our clinical practice and as per my experience, there is nothing to worry about this; as per needle biopsy reports, I would like to consider following possibilities in your case like:
1. an infected inclusion cyst
2. tenosynovitis/bursitis
3. parasitic cyst
4. chronic abscess
5. mono-arthritis
Therefore, in any case, it is inflammatory or infective and you must take some broad spectrum antibiotics and see a surgeon to determine if a needle biopsy is at all necessary for confirmation!
