Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a ganglion cyst.
Ganglion cysts are very common and usually don't require any treatment.
If it causes tingling and numbness in the fingers, I suggest using an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
I also suggest to maintain the area immobilised to avoid further damage.
You can also use warm compresses for relief.
If the symptoms continue you can see a doctor to treat it with as minor surgery.
The surgery consists in aspiration of the cyst with a needle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
