There is a weird bump the size of a small pebble on my left wrist, about 2 cm under the thumb. What is it?

Question

The bump is hard and feels like a bone. It doesn't really hurt unless I push on it or play with it too much.

Answer 1

If it is under the skin, I would have it checked out by a doctor soon. Sometimes tumors start out that way. Don't get scared though cause alot of times it is nothing - but it's better to be safe than sorry!

Answer 2

Sounds as if it might be a ganglion cyst which is a little ball of nerves that have bunched up together. If bumped, they can hurt like the dickens but they are not super serious. If that is what it is. Never depend on getting a specific diagnosis over the internet, especially in forums such as this one. Go to the Dr. & let him tell you what it is for sure. He'll also advise you best on what to do about it.

Could be a fat deposit too, you're better off getting the correct answer from a Dr. Good luck!

Answer 5

Possibly a benign tumor. My friend has one there, too. Although hers is soft. The doctor told her they are very common.
Get it checked out.

Answer 6

To me, it sounds like a cyst. I would have it checked out though. You don't want to mess with that. Good luck!

Answer 8

It's most likely a calcium deposit. You can just leave it alone or do as my x use to do, bang it out with a hammer.
