Has anyone ever heard about viking blood that causes a growth in your hand.?

Question:

Answers:
What you are referring to is probably Dupuytrens contracture. This is a genetically related trait which causes thickening and lumps in the palmar fascia( a layer of the hand). People with ancestry from England/Ireland/Scotland/North. Europe are more likely to have this problem.

As the fascia thickens, the bands that form can become painful and also pull the fingers into a flexed position. This can be surgically treated by excision of the palmar fascia. This is a detailed big operation, but is safely performed by hand surgeons every day. Dupuytrens contracture can recur after surgery, and the severest form, sometimes referred to as a Dupuytren's diathesis can be rapidly progressive and deforming. Dupuytrens can also be associated with contractures in other fascia, most notably the soles of the feet and a layer of the penis (Sometimes called peyronies disease).

If you need assessment, be sure you see someone experienced in hand surgery. Many Plastic and Orthopedic surgeons have a special interest in Hand surgery and some have taken an additional year of training to become very proficient in Hand surgery.
