What Does A Painful Nodule On The Index Finger Indicate?
2 days ago I noticed a nodule which seems subcutaneous on the palmar surface of my left index finder. It is just proximal to the proximal IP joint. It is about 4 mm in size, blue, and painful. I thought it might be a ganglion cyst, but the blue color, location pain and tenderness make me doubt that. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Most probably it will be a ganglion. Other possibilities like arthritic nodule have to be ruled out.
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
