Reddish Bump On The Wrist. No Pain And Itching. Should I Get It Checked Out?
I have a small red bump on my arm , just by by wrist . I originally thought that it was a spot, but it has never had a head and has been there for about 4-5 months. It s not painful or itchy but doesn t seem to be getting any smaller and there aren t any signs of it disappearing. Any ideas what it could be and if I need to go get it checked out?
I have studied your case with diligence. There is possibility of cystic ganglion. Cystic lesions are usually benign and surgical excision is definitive treatment.
I will advise routine blood investigation medication like anti-inflammatory
