What Causes Small Growth On The Finger?

7 years ago I noticed a small growth on my hand on the knuckle of the finger next to my pinky. In the center was a small red dot that looked as though I had stuck my knuckle with a staple. It never hurt and remained the same size and had the same appearance until earlier this year. It has started to get larger and hurt a little. Also, where there was one small red dot in the center, there are now three. What can this be?
