How can i tell if this whitish red bump on my wrist is a wart???

Time: If it lasts for several weeks or more, it might be. Less than that probably not. Warts aren't usually red. They are whitish and have an irregular surface. See photo. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

It is unusual: to get a wart on the wrist. Usually you see a ganglion cyst on the wrist. The surface of the ganglion cyst is smooth . The surface of the wart is irregular. See your doctor to confirm. Take care.
