A Wrist Bump Doesn’t Always Mean Something Serious — It Could Be a Ganglion Cyst

Finding a lump or bump on your wrist can be alarming. Many people immediately worry that it could be something dangerous.

However, not every wrist lump is a sign of a serious disease.

One common explanation is a ganglion cyst, a fluid-filled lump that often develops near a joint or tendon. Ganglion cysts are generally harmless and may sometimes disappear without treatment.
