Donut shaped lump on finger

[LyndaGould]

Has anyone ever seen a lump like this? It’s donut shaped and is quite painful when I accidentally bump it against things. It’s been around for 4 weeks now with no real change except it goes a bit hard and white in the Centre then the top eventually comes off.

Maybe there's a little something stuck under the skin? Does it get puss? Have you tried putting tea tree oil? If nothing sounds right, head to a Dr for referral to a dermatologist.

Thanks Saassii there’s nothing in it but I’ll try the tea tree oil and see if it works.

Hi there. I had a similar lump on my index finger right on the knuckle which kept getting knocked so I had it removed under local anaesthetic. Bit uncomfortable but it turned out to be a benign cyst so was glad I had it done. Have a nice flat finger now! Check with your GP to get a referral to orthopaedic specialist. Good luck.

Thanks Avenue1351 I’ve an appointment with the GP on Friday so I’m going to ask about it.
