How To Treat A Mobile Knot On The Hand?
I have a knot in the center top part of my hand that is very painful. I hit it on something a few months ago. There has been no swelling or discoloration but the knot moves when i move my hand. I was told by a doctor that it is a broken blood vessel, I just cant see it. What can I do about this and will it ever go away?

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This seems to be a hematoma.
Usually it resorbs spontaneously but very slowly.
Nothing needs to be done.
But in your case as you said it is painful, must be infected.
You havent mentioned about fever.
Consult your doctor soon for local examination & drainage of pus if any and antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs.
FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology may be advised for diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Thanks.
Regards.
