It looks like a Heberden's node to me (sign of osteoarthritis i.e. wear and tear arthritis - the sort we get as we get older - sorry!). They should feel hard and knoblly. Alternatively if it is soft and squishier then it might be a synovial cyst, which is benign. It doesn't look typical of a rheumatoid nodule or a gouty lump, and the fact it's only on one side of the joint is less typical for psoriasis associated arthritis.

Very reasonable however to get it checked by your GP if you are worried, as none of us have the full picture of your general health and well being.
