Needs physician exam: Any growth like you have on your finger needs to be checked by your doctor if it is more than 3-5 mm and growing. It can be infection which requires immediate care or it can be cancer which requires physician examination and possible biopsy. You could seek medical advice from your PCP or a dermatologist.
