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
