How To Get Rid Of The Knot On The First Joint Of The Little Finger?

My right little finger has a knot or node on the first joint on the end. That is the only one like that. When I looked close, I saw a scare where I mased it many years ago. I makes me wonder if it was hurt worse that I thought.I am right handed, so I thought that when I right that side of my finger rubs the surface. Could this be like a spur or one of those deforming little knots? How can I get rid of it? Is there a supplement that will help?

Hi

I have gone through your query.

It seems like you have a calcification that is an extension from the bone. This can present as an outgrowth of the bones of the finger. This is usually not serious if there is no pain. In case there is any pain, using an ice pack and a painkiller gel containing ibuprofen can help.

The bone spur can be confirmed with an X-ray.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
