Hand osteoarthritis with mucous cysts

I was told by a doctor that I have mucous cysts, but they don't look like it from pictures I've seen of others. There is a line of them starting at the top knuckle going down my finger. He said not to worry about it but I'm considering a second opinion.

Strange .. I had my shower a bit ago and while washing my hair my first joint beyond my nail on my index finger was hurting. It sorta looks like several tiny cyst grouped together close up .. but not close up looks like a hump on my joint. I have osteoarthritis in that joint.. so that is what I searched for and came up with this site that mentions several types of nodes: https://www.orthobullets.com/hand/6055/dip-and-pip-joint-arthritis . After reading this and looking up actual photos instead of illustrations I am still confused as to what it is. I have an appointment with an orthopedist PA-C in a couple of weeks for followup on a sprained wrist and will ask him what he thinks.
I attached some photos, but not sure what can be seen .. other than my pitiful nails. I need to get my protein up to help them and take a better care of them.
