Finding a lump anywhere can be pretty frightening. But if you have recently developed one on your hand or the back of your wrist, you probably have nothing to wring your hands over. It is most likely a sign of Ganglion Cyst, a benign fluid-filled lump. These cysts can actually pop up anywhere on the hand ang fingers and on other parts of the body as well. Women are more likely to have them than men, and they are especially common in gymnasts.
The bump swells with physical activity and decreases when the hand is at rest. Although they can be tenser and achy, ganglion cysts tend to be most one-third of these cysts will disappear on their own.
A lump on the hand can also be a sign of Gout or Rheumatoid Arthritis. But people with these conditions are likely to have pain and other signs.
