Is it osteoarthritis?

I notice and touch a bump or a lump in my pinkie finger. I think it's getting bigger but it didn't hurt. It only hurts when I pinch it. It has no serious pain but I just feel it and touch it and it's not normal. I don't know what is it. I look online and it seems osteoarthritis. Maybe because I'm getting old. Hope it will not grow because it's not good to look at your fingers with it.

If it is like a blister, like small pimple with water inside, it can be dishydrosis. Arthritis develop in time and not overnight. Normally arthritis is not only in one finger

No not a blister. It's not soft. It's solid

I am not sure about it. But Maluse confirms it to be osteoarthritis in her reply below. Good that it doesn't hurt. Hope it doesn't grow bigger than this.

Yes, definitely this is osteoarthritis. It's not because you are getting old, I am 70 and I do not have this prblem.

I'm not sure what it is. I have osteoarthritis, but my fingers don't have those bumps. But then my fingers were all broken as a kid so they don't look nice.

@averygirl72 I was stupid when I was a kid and tried to climb in a window and the window came down on my hands.

It may be osteoarthritis but I would suggest you to take a medical advice.
