What Is The Remedy For The Lump On The Wrist Of A Three Year Old?

My very active three year old has a bump on her right wrist right at the outer bone. She is always doing cartwheels and we always have to tell her to stop. I think it could be a cyst... But I'm not sure. She doesn't complain of it hurting, but it is really starting to worry my husband and I. What can I do?

HI.
A painless lump on the wrist of such a young can be due to ganglion.
A simple test you can do at home=
Put a light to pass through the lump in a dark room, if it is shining through like a pearl - it is a ganglion.
It may resolve on its own.
If still in doubt , please consult a Surgeon.
