Brief Answer:
Can be hemangioma or carpal tunnel,
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your symptoms there was no history of any injury, and swelling is seen over blood vessel in this case possibility of hemangioma is suspected. As you are taking many medications for various diseases so it can be due to drug intake.
I will advise to go for MRI and routine blood investigation if swelling does not reduce. Continue ice fomentation and medication like anti-inflammatory medicines.
Another probability of carpal tunnel can be considered in which there is swelling over wrist. There is nerve compression near wrist which leads to pain and tingling.
Biopsy can be done when some malignancy is suspected, if he has done some blood investigation which lead towards malignancy then biopsy can be done, but before that MRI can be done which will give extent of lesion.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
