What Is The Cause Of Lump And Swelling On Top Of The Finger?
Hi for the last three weeks or so I have had a problem with my ring ringer on my left hand. I knocked the end of it and the joint up from the nail is inflammed and very sore at times depending on what I am doing and there is also a lump on the top of the finger between the two joints. What have I done???

hi. you need to take analgesics, anti-inflamatory,ice packs application. strapping the finger will give rest to your finger and swelling will subside. try it for 3-5 days. if still not improving go for an xray and consult an orthopedician.
thanks
