Is That Lump a Ganglion Cyst?

Noticed a lump on your wrist, hand, or finger joint? It could be a ganglion cyst—a fluid-filled swelling that’s usually harmless but can be uncomfortable, unsightly, or limit movement.

Common signs of a ganglion cyst:

  • Smooth, round or oval lump under the skin
  • Size can fluctuate, sometimes growing with activity
  • May cause pain, tingling, or weakness if pressing on a nerve
  • Often located near joints or tendons, especially the wrist

When to Consider Removal
Some ganglion cysts go away on their own, but if your cyst is painful, interfering with daily life, or keeps coming back, removal may be the best option.
