A member asked:

Small, hard bump, under skin at inside base of middle finger. getting bigger, sensitive to touch & lingering pain if it hits anything. what is this?

Ganglion cyst: See you doctor for an exam...It may be a cyst on the tendon sheath (outer lining of the tendon). Some doctors inject the lesion with kenalog, (triamcinolone) others suggest surgical removal.
