Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Smooth Lump
A ganglion cyst will typically appear as a smooth lump below the surface of the skin. They are usually found on the back of the wrist, while they are also commonly found on the hands and fingers. However, they can arise anywhere in the body where a joint or tendon with synovial fluid nearby.
Ganglion cysts will thankfully not cause the patient any other medical issues. They can, however, be quite painful for some people, although they are completely painless for many others. Depending on the level of discomfort caused, they are often left alone and may slowly disappear over time without treatment.
