Best Answer

The most common cause of a cyst in the finger is related to Arthritis. An arthritic joint produces more fluid than normal joints and the fluid escapes, thickens and forms a fluid collection outside the joint and is visible underneath the skin.

The most common location for these cysts is at the base of the nail.
