I have a bump on my thumb that was initially a small, flesh-colored bump but has recently changed into a white bump with redness around it. I'm concerned about why it changed so suddenly and whether it's a wart or something else that needs to be checked out. I have had warts on my hands in the past, but it's been awhile. I'm 48 years old and not currently using any medications. What could this bump be, and what should I do about it?
