Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

How was your day?

Hope this message finds you in good health.

I have gone through your pic in detail and understand your concern.

the proximal part of the finger is swollen and bruised.

there are many possibilities..
1. osteomyelitis - long standing infection of the underlying bone,that may have burst open the bone and travelled into the soft tissues
2. soft tissue cyst - no bony involvement, only soft tissue may have swollen with / without infection

3. neuroma- rare , but a possibilty for sure.

i need to ask you few questions-
is the swollen area warm as compared to other fingers
do you get fever constantly

is the swelling painful on pressing it
can make a complete fist or does the affected finger fail to touch the palm
is there any snap sound when u move the finger in and out

An xray will be of immense help to rule out bony involvement

i will wait for your answers.
do revert back, so that we can come to a clinical diagnosis

Wish you a healthy life : )
