Hi,
The information you provided is not adequate to comment on anything. If I were your pediatrician, I would like to know how big is the bulge? where exactly its located on the wrist? How long has it been there and is there any increase or decrease in size? Is the bulge mobile, painful ??
A bulge in such a location Can be a nonspecific bony deformity or fat accumulation also which needs no treatment. So better its seen by a doctor to make a confirm assessment. You might need to get an xray as a part of evaluation. Hope this advice helped. Take care.
