Question 1

pea sized lump on palm of hand after fingertip injury?

Accepted Answer

Most not related.: I can;t think of any reason that a fingr tip injury would cause a lump in the palm.  Lumps, bumps and masses are very common in the palm and hand.  You should probably see a hand surgeon for a diagnosis.

Question 2

found a small lump on palm of hand. that's grown from a sesame size to pea size. starts to hurt when i press on it or grab things. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a hand surgeon: There are many lesions that present as lumps on the palm. Most are benign, but anything that is changing in size, color or symptoms should be brought to the attention of your doctor. If you don't have a regular doctor, a hand surgeon is the type of doctor most likely to take care of this.

Question 3

i  have a pea sized bump on the top of my hand, its hard and it doesnt hurt but i can move it around slightly but i dont know what it is.

Accepted Answer

Cyst: this is likely a synovial cyst which is an out-pouching from your wrist.  The synovial lining weakens and pushes out between your bones.  A cyst can develop on your tendons too.  See your doctor or an orthopedist.

Question 4

husband had bump on hand (looked like wart, about size of a pea). he picked it off & said a hard thing came out of it & was bleeding. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Possible Wart: It is hard to tell without a clinical examination but what you are describing is likely a wart caused by papillomavirus.

Question 5

hello! i have a painful, purple, pea sized, bump on the lower-mid section of my palm. ive always seen a small, soft, bump there, but now its hard to the touch and painful. i was wondering if its necessary to see a doctor. i dont have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Palm lump: Some nodularity of Palm tendons can occur but shouldn't be painful or tender. In view of the discomfort, you should have a medical professional examine your hand and advise you. You could visit a walk in clinic and explain your lack of insurance.

Question 6

notice bump on the palm of my hand.  it is painful if i touch it.  has been there about a week. noticed when biking to work. is it anything to be concerned about.

bump on palm of hand?

Accepted Answer

Best to see your GP: There are many conditions which could cause a painful bump. Less worrisome causes include things like a blister or an inflamed cyst. A lesion from Herpes (HSV) or Shingles could also cause a painful bump, and both of those possibilities are more concerning, and would need a much different treatment than something like a cyst. I would recommend that you reach out to your primary care doctor.

Question 7

bump below my middle finger in palm of hand, i think it might be causing pain in hand and wrist . what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: You can try heat and massage, but if it persists see a Hand Surgeon. It might be treatable in the office.

Question 8

small cluster itchy but sore red bumps on palm of hand?

Accepted Answer

Contact dermatitis: From your brief description, it is likely you have allergic (vesicular) contact dermatitis.  Have you had contact with any new lotions or metals (eg. Nickel) on your palms?

Question 9

today i was going to grab something and i felt a little pain in the palm of my hand like under one of my fingers. when i touched to see the place exactly i felt like a pea size ball ,it doesn't show just felt when touched. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If it interferes with your daily activities it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 10

i have a small, pea sized lump in the palm of my hand,  an inch below ring finger. i googled & found something called duputrens. is that common?

Accepted Answer

Humph: Doesn't sound like dupytrens. That is a tendon problem that causes a finger not to extend properly. Yours sounds like a cyst or something else. Best visit a hand doctor!
