Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some ganglion cyst or other soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma. You should go for excision biopsy and histopathological examination.
If ganglion cyst is there then there is a chance of recurrence. Other tumors are not known for recurrence.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
