The most common lump in such location is a ganglion. This lump is a kind of cyst filled with clear fluid. It has a connection with a joint at your wrist. Usually it causes pain when moving the wrist. I suggest you to consult a surgeon with it. Ultrasound should be done. If ganglion will be confirmed, can be removed.
Hope this will help. Regards.
