How To Treat Bump On Wrist Just Straight Up From Thumb?

An area like a bone just popped up at the wrist just straight up from the thumb and one inch up from the wrist on the under side of wrist. It is not sore but feels just like a bone. I don't want to go make a bill at the doctors office if it is nothing. Thank you for your reply. Nan

hi
thanks for writting to HCM.
i have gone through your query and it seems to be a benign lesion called GANGLION.most of the people don't have pain like you.most of the time it is removed for cosmetic purpose and less commonly for pain.
so do cold fomentation if you have pain with few day of ibuprofen.
take care
