Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Palm Of Hand After Injury

Posted on Thu, 7 Jul 2016

Question: I have a small area on the palm of my hand (looks like a vein) that has popped out all of a sudden. This was not caused by injury but is tender to the touch. Should I be concerned and how do I get rid of it?

I do not know how to upload a picture on this forum. Like stated earlier, this is on the palm, not the back of my hand. It is a small, firm bump, 5mm X 7mm in length. It looks the color of a vein (like my other veins), and is tender only when I press on it. This has not happened on my hand before, but I do have a small vein on my face that will "pop" out from time to time and I can even see it "pulse" in tune with my heart rate.

1st of all, I tried sending information via the link you stated on your response, but, Google does not recognize that link, thus I was unsuccessful.
2nd, I just sent you the updated information as requested, but, apparently this information was not looked at. Now I am being asked if I have any "follow up questions" (which you only get the 2 communications for $18.00) and, I have not even heard back from you yet. This is disappointing to say the least.
3rd, I have not found a way to upload a picture onto this site. If this is my oversight, please excuse me.

Does it come sometime and vanish in particular arm positions-Like extended arm/or flexed arm?
Do you have any wrist ganglion cyst in the past?
Update more Details about the exact location of the lump on palm?

-You seem to suffer from ?-Voler Ganglion Cyst(from intercarpal joints 0r carpo-metacarpal joints) near Voler wrist crease?
-Or it could be Dupuetryne's bump start, indicating future contraction in time to come/ or
- it could be A-V (Arterio-Venous)malformations/ or fistula in thenar bulb of left palm?
