What Causes Lump On Index Finger Post Injury?
Hi
I cut my index finger on the side washing a wine glass
The cut wasn't bad enough for stictches
I just applied a band aid
3 months later I'm still worrying about a small lump where I cut it
I have no Pain
Only when I keep touching it even then the Pain is not bad
When I put my hands in front of me
It's noticeable
About half the size of a pea
Feels like bone ?

Welcome to health care magic.
1.There can be a scar tissue formation after healing wound - possibly you are feeling it as lump, as there is no pain as you mentioned.
2.The next possible cause could be ganglion formation from the joint space.
3.These ganglions are generally from the joint space cartilage, tendon and so on, which does not need any treatment but followup.
4.Apply anti inflammatory cream if you feel any soreness or oedematous.
5.If not responding - let it get examined by your GP, then further action can be taken according to the examination.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
