Does A Bluish Ganglion In The Palm, Painful To The Touch, Need Medical Attention?
I have what might be a ganglion in the palm of my index finger close to the palm of my hand and painful when touched. I have had it for a few days. I think I might have pinched the skin. It feels solid and looks somewhat blueish. Do I need to see a doctor?

Hello,
It is nothing but a being (non-cancerous) swelling arising from the tendon sheath.
Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. You can opt for aspiration or excision if the swelling. Nothing much to worry as it is a simple procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
