I have a bump in my hand that is sort of hard, but sort of soft. It's under my skin and it moves around. It doesn't hurt, but it kinda bugs me. It moves around when I touch it, and it's the size of a big pea.
I've had it for about 2 years.
Should I worry?

It is possibly a ganglion cyst (google it). See an ortho doctor. If it isn't bothersome he/she won't do anything. He/she may want to drain it if you like. I had mine surgically removed, due it hurting alot, but it came back. Removed it again, back again right after surgery. Bottom line - ignore it as long as it isn't bothersome.

Its probably best to go to the doctors to check it out. Do what the doctors says including if he gives u some medication, if he/she does, make sure you use it every day so the big lumo on your hand doesnt bother you anymore.
