What Causes A Wrist Lump Which Is Raised, Firm And Dry?

Hello. I have a small, round raised bump on the side of my wrist. The top is smooth, and it is darker than the surrounding skin. It feels firm to the touch. I have had it for several years. Sometimes, the skin on the top of the bump becomes dry and comes off in the shower or when I wash my hands, and the top is then smooth again. What could this be?
