Thers this wierd lump on my hand that developed over a few months. About 2 months ago, i fell hard on sand and pebbles&got a cut on my palm. After a few weeks, there was a scab and then completly healed. I thought it was fine and left it alone. I didnt realize it but it felt like a rock was in my hand. I realized it wasnt a rock and there was a blueish blackish dot visible on the hard lump. The dot got bigger then before. It stings a little wen i poke the dot but wen i poke anywere else on the lump, its fine. Can someone explain to me what this is, what can happen if i dont treat it and how can i treat it. thanks

it looks like it needs to be lanced open and drained.

Hmmm, two things come to mind:
1. a tiny piece of rock was stuck in your hand and your body's defense mechanism "encapsulated" the foreign object and is slowly pushing it out.
2. Synovial/ganglion cyst. Nothing harmful, can go away on its own or be surgically removed or a syringe can "suck" out the fluid inside if it's bothersome.
Neither condition of the above conditions is serious, just sort of annoying. I'm not a doctor, just so you know.

Sounds like a grain of sand got trapped in the cut. Scar tissue formed around it making the lump. I think you will have to have a doctor excise it.

hi, it is in all risk a boil, does it injury once you press it? yet another element, docs have see quite each little thing and something, so as complicated because it is don't be embarrassed, it is going to in all risk flow away, if it would not in some week, flow and get it checked. do no longer hardship!!! notwithstanding if it is hurting it is in all risk a boil, my husband gets them each and all the time. positioned a heat textile on it or have a heat tub, this sounds extraordinary, yet could desire to anybody look at it for you?? if so often times boils have little heads on them like a pimple.

you should go to the doctor. there's definitely a foreign object in your hand. it may have been a pebble from when you fell, that was deep, then worked it's way up to the surface. but, whether a pebble or not, there's something in there! good luck!

Maybe an abcess. It needs to be looked at by a dr. Should probably be lanced and drained.
