Many possibilities: Could be a cyst, such as a ganglion cyst, which are often asymptomatic. Could also be a skin cyst such as a sebaceous cyst, but without looking at it it's hard to tell!

Is it normal to see a round bone jutting out from your wrist? It's not painful, and I didn't hurt my wrist, I think.

My daughter has a small bone protruding from her wrist. She fell a couple of years back and again the other day. Looks like she might have broken her wrist a few years back and a bone has grown back skew.
