- The bumps develop rapidly.

The Bottom Line
Hard bumps on the finger joints nearest the nails are most commonly Heberden’s nodes caused by osteoarthritis. Although they may seem to “spread,” they actually develop as additional joints undergo the same age-related changes. While they cannot usually be reversed, many people manage their symptoms successfully and continue using their hands for everyday activities.
If new finger lumps are painful, rapidly changing, or associated with significant swelling or warmth, it’s important to seek medical evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
