This morning I brought by 9-month-old to bed to feed her. While trying to get us both in the right position, I accidentally layed on her arm. It hurt because she cried, but then was fine. We got up and has been using her arm ever since - crawling, picking things up, eating, etc. However, when I felt her arm and hand for any kind of injury or pain, I found what I hope is a cyst under the skin on the back of her hand. It's small, round, firm and movable. It doesn't seem to bother her. I just don't know if this was there before and I just found it, or if it was caused this morning when I layed on her arm. Any advice???

It could be nothing since it's not bothering her. Just ask her doctor about it when you visit the doctor next time. :)

its probably just a small hematoma(small collection of blood) caused from when you layed on her arm. its really nothing serious and should go away in a few days. if it was bothering her i would say take a sterile needle and poke it to remove the blood, but she doesn't seem to be in any pain, so i would just watch it for few days until it goes away
