A member asked:

1 day ago i got this lump on top of my right hand. have not hit it or anything. no signs of a bite. it is a little red very swollen and tender. possib?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump: A lump on the back of the hand, unrelated to injury, raises the possibilities of an insect bite or a cyst but the latter usually wouldn't pop up immediately. Since there is tenderness and some redness, I recommend that a physician examine you for diagnosis and treatment because of presence of possible infection.
