Could be: Most probable lesion to be excised is a ganglion. This is a tendon cyst where the cyst has to be opened and capsule removed.. Here inflammation of the operative filed can result in joint pain. The scar may represent a keloid that has formed and can be treated by newer topical medications or kenalog (triamcinolone) into the scar. If inflamed ,warm soaks and antibiotics.can be employed.
