What Could Cause Sudden Dent With Painful Lump Around The Area On Hand?
showed up on my hand out of nowhere. Ok so after i woke up from sleeping i saw this strange dent on my left hand it is also a lump. It does not hurt when i touch it but if i hit it on what i usually a doorknob on that spot.. TERRIBLE pain happens and it just makes me wonder bevause i did not notice it till after a while. I asked a teacher in my ROP class what it was and he says it could be a muscle cyst in my hand but i looked at pictures on muscle hand cysts and it looks different. It has more of a small dent look to it but i do feel a bump around where it is.. What could this be? My mom and i are curious?

Hi, there!
Tendon cysts are common on hands and wrist joint..
They can cure spontaneously, but most of them need surgery.
You can make Ultrasonography scan to confirm diagnosis.
I hope this helps
