Detailed Answer:

Hello,

A lump on the wrist may be a ganglion cyst. Usually they are not harmful but can be painful sometimes. They may go on their own.
Anyway you may do an ultrasound to check it. If it is very painful you may consult an orthopedic doctor to drain it.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
