What Causes A Painful Lump On The Bottom Of My Hand?

i have a lump on the bottom of my hand, at the base of my thumb. It is movable and actually feels like there are two parts to it. It does cause pain when I flex my thumb or grip something. What would be the first course of treatment for this? I have had this for a ver long time.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of hand lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma
2.     The second possibility is of a benign cyst like ganglion cyst or sebaceous cyst     
3.     The last possibility is of some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you!
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon in your area!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
