I have this yellowish/whitish painful bump on my index finger pad. It's painful to touch. Does anyone know what it could be? It is hard to see in the photos, but is in the dead centre of my finger.

If it hurts it could be infected. Time to see a doctor.
The same thing is happening to my pinky finger pad...
When I had one it was a wart. Very painful.
Does your doctor let you do telemedicine (where you email them in a secure way a photo, they look at it and give their diagnosis?)
That was how I had mine diagnosed.
The doc then gave me some choices for over the counter meds...I can't remember which one I used, I think she said Compound W. It was painful (to me), but it worked.
Post back with an update! Sending healing wishes.
It might be a "mucous cyst" if you have joint pain / arthritis. Sometimes it's good to check with family members to see if they've ever experienced these types of things since even minor conditions can be inherited. Good luck!
It's a blister
It's possible it is caused by a tiny splinter or the tip of a thorn but if you have Epsom Salt you can make a pan of hot water with a cup or more of Epsom Salt (hot as you can stand without burning) and soak until water is cold.
You can also place a piece of duck tape over it for overnight and see if that draws it out or softens it. Use surgical tape or tape end of a band aid if you have nothing else.
Any of this will help to decrease the pain.
i actually think i have this to someone said it was hand foot and mouth disease but I researched and i dont think it is
I have the same exact thing, going on for months now. It started after i was sick with every symptom of covid but that test came back negative. I thought i had a splinter, thats what it felt like, but there was no splinter to be found.
This is happening to me too! On multiple finger pads. Did you ever resolve?
Same here, its been happening for the last month or so. i thought it was a splinter on my thumb, i picked it but nothing to be seen.
Since your spots have been spreading, I believe you may have a wart. There are many home remedies but the Compound W type medications seem to work well in most cases.
Good luck!
Has this stopped or is it still occurring? Im having the exact same thing happen and its been on 3-4 fingers now. Just the smallest little bump thats painful and it started after what I thought was Covid but a negative test as well
Ive had this on and off for years! They move around my fingers, I used to put it down to being run down or stress bit now I can get them any time! Theyre so sore too!! If anyone find out let me know !
I have these too! It's been two years, although they stopped almost completely while I was pregnant. They're a bit painful, last a few days, and then show up on another finger.
Dyshidrotic eczema, check this out? I recently had this come on from stress, my body has been reacting in all weird ways.
I've had a bump like this on my thumb for six weeks now. It began with a splinter but I removed that. I thought there might still be a tiny bit left in so I picked away the skin and out magnesium paste to draw anything out (this has worked in the past). But a small lump formed which you can hardly see but very painful when pressure is applied. Anyway I did an econsult with the surgery and was called in. The nurse couldn't see anything but she picked it again with the tweezers and I screamed in pain (she didn't stop or apologise). She was going to put some more paste on and then found she didn't have any She took a photo and asked a GP who prescribed some antibiotics which I've been on for a couple of days but still got the pain (which wasn't helped by Nurse Ratchet and her brutal tweezers. Wish I knew what it was as am going through plasters like anything.
