What Causes Lump Under The Skin On The Right Thumb?

Hello for the past week I ve had a small lump under the skin on my right thumb, when I put my thumb to my cheek it is much hotter to touch than the other thumb. I m right handed so with this being on my right hand it s hard to hold anything or use a knife to cut etc. I just wondered what it could be the lump is not massive but extremely sore but you can t see anything unless you touch it which really hurts.
