What Is The Treatment For A Lump Under The Skin?
I have a small bluish lump under the skin in the middle of my palm on my left hand. It is painful to touch and when open and close my fingers. I was digging in the garden a week ago but other than that no other activity. It has been painful for about three days

Hi.
Thanks for your query and nice history.
This is self-explanatory.
The lumps is bluish, painful to touch and movements, garden work :: All this suggest this to be a small hematoma in a confined space- so is painful.
It is expected to resolve on its own, provided you give a rest to the part, do not fiddle with it.
You may take an OTC ibuprofen or so to reduce the pain and swelling.
Wait and watch is the best policy.
