Noticed A Small Lump Near The Left Wrist , What Is The Problem ?

I am a 61 year old male. Two weeks ago I noticed a small annoying lump near the veins on top of my left wrist approximately two inches from the base of the top of my hand. It appears slightly larger and it is more sore than it was two weeks ago.
Your advice would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have gone through your query. The lump you have mentioned here is suggestive of Ganglion. It is a harmless lump. It is usually annoying and may pain if pressed.
As your lump is growing you should get it removed surgically. A Clinical examination is a must before any decision.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
