A member asked:

I have a lump in my hand between my thumb and finger, is it something to be concerned about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Most likely a ganglion which is benign. It can be observed unless it causes pain. Then see a specialist in hand.

A member asked:

I just had a hard, round bump appear on the back of my hand, between my thumb and my wrist. The bump itself is painless but I am experiencing some thumb and finger irritation/numbness. Does this sound consistent with a ganglion cyst?
