A member asked:

Hello so on my hand i have this medium sized hard bump on my hand and when i write, type, etc my palm will start to hurt, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?Ganglion cyst: My guess is that the bump is actually on the wrist, not so much in the palm. If that's the case, it could be a ganglion cyst, a benign process.

I have a relatively firm, non-painful, bump on my forearm just below the elbow, it can be wiggled by hand, and is maybe a quarter-inch in size. I've had one before that eventually went away after a month or so, just curious about what it is?
