Suggest Treatment For Lump And Bruising On The Palm Of Hand
I have recently developed a small lump on the palm of my right hand. It started as a bruise which is how I discovered the lump. It doesn t really hurt unless you press on it. I do not recall hurting my hand so I don t know what has caused this lump & bruising. Any idea what it is? Should I see a hand doctor?

Hello,
It sounds like you may have developed a cyst which can occur after an injury. These are often benign and go away on their own in time. It would be good to have a doctor look at it to be sure, but it is not urgent. If it starts causing a lot of pain or enlarging then see a doctor right away
Regards
