Not rare: Ganglion cysts are most common on the dorsal/ radial side of the wrist but occur readily elsewhere about the wrist ( and other joints).If your cyst is painful see an orthopedic surgeon for treatment options.Scars vary w/ size of cyst and patients' response to surgical incisions.Best of luck!
