I have a knot beside my toenail about the size of a bb that seems to be growing. what could it be?

Toe mass: Could be one of many things. Soft tissue mass, foreign body, cyst, to name a few. I would recommend evaluation by a podiatrist.

A pyogenic: Granuloma, but since we can't see it the recommendation is I have an in office exam by a podiatrist or dermatologist. It must be determined if he lesion is benign or malignant.

Granulation tissue: See a podiatrist for an exam and treatment. These often occur in conjunction with an ingrown toenail. It's pretty easy to fix.
