question: I have a growth on the first joint of my right middle finger, It is verry read around the outter area. It is about /4 inch in diameter. It is also very tender around the outter area. There is a clear thick sticky substance that came out of it and at one time there was a little blood in it. It does not seem like it will heal. It continues to fill with something. This has been going on for almost a month and I am about ready to visit my doctor. Would like light you may shed on this.
