Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hard lump on the finger could be due to an inclusion cyst, dermoid cyst, lipoma, etc. If it is gradually increasing in size then the chances of infection are there. Do get it examined and treated,
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
