Unfortunately there: Are times when something like this happens. Most commonly it is just some of the superficial skin spreading a bit. This happens in the winter in northern climates more often.

Finally some people just take longer to heal for many different reasons.

Accepted Answer

Ganglion: The wrist ganglion is a part of the joint capsule that pushes out between the bones of the wrist and can be variable in size. Because it is a part of the capsule that bathes the joint, it can change in size and shape. See your doctor for an initial look to make sure that is a ganglion. Usually over time they will reduce in size, but if the capsule becomes entrapped, other treatments are needed.
