Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Digital Myxoid Cyst(DMC)-in the DIP joint line.
Excision of the Ganglion or DMCysts by planned Surgical procedure would be needed repeatedly,as complete excision in one seating is not possible.
X-ray and CT study of the DMC would fix the diagnosis.
HOpe this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
