Painful White Bump on Pointer Finger

I had the same thing today. Only way I can explain it is like what you have. On side of pointing finger pad/tip

I have one too but I don't play the guitar or any instrument. Bewilder of what it is. It's on my second finger

l had one on my finger for a couple of months,it was painful everytime l touched it, i even felt it pulsing so i decided to get rid of i, this is how...and don't worry it will NOT hurt.Get a clean needle,sterilize it with alcohol, gently put it in the white dot to make a hole to open it then press and squeeze until all white comes out until some blood comes out, put some alcohol on finger and that's it. :)

Im not a guitarist im a be baseball player do you think it could be the same thing?

I realize this is an old topic, but I found it because I have the same thing. I noticed most of th first 8 or 10 respnders were guitarists. I've played for 45 years and I don't think I've ever experienced this on a finger tip. I have something similar on the side of my index finger where my pick digs in, but I only remember it hurting once and I dug it out with a knife. I thought it was gone, but ni this typing, I checked ans there's a small callous there.
My current issue is on the very tip of my middle finger. My fingertips are very calloused so it seems unlikely I'd get a splinter through one and I didn't think it had to do with the guitar. But thinking about these posts over night, it occurred to me that "they say" the body will try to push a splinter out, pushing down your arm or leg, or finger. So I'm thinking maybe this happens by getting a splinter in you finger and over time it is pushed to the end, but because we are guitarists the big ole callous on the finger tip prevents the body from pushing it out. It gets stuck, infected, and well, you get the sore dot under the skin.
Thats really what I wanted to say, but since I'm here... Yesterday, I cut through my callous to try and free up the infection. I got down to the meat and it was just too sensative to go farther, I had a hole about maybe 2 mm in diameter. Before bed, I softened it with water and tried again, but it was too sensative. I did increase the hole size, but that's how I got to 2 mm. Anyway, I washed it and put a good amount of Neosporene on it, covered with a bandaid and went to bed. This morning, I checked it, tried to work a while (keyboarding) and finally decided to give it a squeeze. It came out like bright white tooth paste and held it's shape. I got about as much as would displace the eraser on a #2 pencil. Then I kept squeezing for 10 minutes or so until I couldn't get much more blood.
Of course it was still sore to touch, but it was a lot better than before. I put a little more Neosponene on it and another bandaid and it's been a couple hours. It feels a lot better. I'm getting close to losing the bandaid becauce I can't type.

I have one on the edge of my thumb but I'm not a guitarist like you all. So I'm not sure what to do with this.

I have the same issue well my wife took the nail clippers to mine it made a hole in my finger and it wouldn't stop bleeding. I went to the Emergency room and they from it. My finger looks so ugly now and sore but I don't think that's gonna solve the issue

Same, it hurts really bad and it's on the same finger! I'm like freaking out in it! It's like oh it will go away but it's been 2 weeks and it's not. I'm freaking out.

HI everyone this is the answer to your problem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callus
What you have on your finger is a callus, an extra layer of skin that the body create to protect the area that does the same movement for a long period of time repeatedly as play the guitar or write and etc... you can remove it by using GANOZHI TOOTHPASTE just lay it on the are for 3-4 hours for a month it will disappear. Or go to your doctor and let him remove it with scalpel. But know it might come back years later if you keep the finger doing the same movement. I had the same thing when I was 10 my first month of guitar lessons they removed it with a scalpel but It came a few months back so I removed it with GANOZHI .

the same thing happened to me, I just took toenail clippers and cut it in half and it hurts a little now but all the white stuff is gone

Hello..thanks for the info. Day 4 and it's driving me nuts, mainly because I can't play my guitar. Seems like something I don't want to bother a doctor with, and debating on trying to pop it and cleaning out myself. you think I should try myself before seeing a doctor?

Got one too. Where my thumb meets my hand. Mine to was buried under skin so I use nail clippers to pick at the skin and pull it back. I then noticed a white thing... it was weird. I pulled it out with tweezers and the pain has stopped.

It's probably a callus you get those when you work with that figure a lot. Don't pick at it, it's to make your figure strong and really thick in that area. It might get sore when you first get it. But it will go away if you stop using that figure.

I do not play guitar or any other string instrument, and I have been dealing with my small pearl for about three years now. It sits on the side of my pointer finer and grows between the layers of skin. Putting pressure on it does hurt. I get impatient with it when it hurts and I bite it out. It is a tiny mass of hard white matter and my finger feels better immediately. There is no bleeding, no infection, no splinter. However, 6 weeks later it is back again, as a mild irritant, and then a few weeks after that it is painful under pressure again. None of the theories offered here appear to apply. It is not a callous or infection.

I have it too but it does not sting at all it only sting when i put a lot of pressure on it
