See what it is: Most likely it is a ganglionic cyst. If you are really concerned have it looked at by your doctor and may be removed and biopsied. Even though the chances are the lesion is benign, you may want to have it checked out.

Be seen: I would certainly be seen to make sure it is not something potentially harmful.
