Hi,
It seems that you may have ganglion.A ganglion is a fluid-filled lump which can occur near joints or tendons. It is not a cancer. It is most commonly found on the wrist or hands. It is usually harmless but can be unsightly. If required, a ganglion can be removed by a small operation.So,you consult surgeon or orthopedic surgeon for firm diagnosis and treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
