Suggest Treatment For Lump In The Finger

I recently noticed a painful lump on the joint closest to your hand on my middle finger. It s especially painful with pressure to the lump. I m guessing that the size is probably about 1/4 of an inch diameter. What could this be? Will it go away on its own or is it any cause for concern?
