Ganglion cyst, perhaps? This is a lump on your hand or wrist, usually harmless. For more information see the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' webpage at http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=183&topcategory=Hand.

ganglion cyst
A ganglion cyst is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand (or sometime feet). The size of the cyst can vary over time, often becoming more inflamed if irritated. It is most frequently located around the wrist and on the fingers.


Comparison of cyst on top of wrist. No cyst (l.) and cyst (r.)The exact cause of the formation of ganglion cysts is still unknown. They occur more often in elderly people and in females.

They are not generally considered harmful although can cause discomfort and/or limit movement. Frequently, the cysts will disappear over time, so in cases of small cysts that don't cause symptoms, no therapy is necessary. If a ganglion cyst is symptomatic, it can be managed by aspiration or surgery. Aspiration of the cyst is the simpler method, but cysts will develop again in about 50% cases. Recurrence rate after surgery is only 5-10%, the procedure is simple and usually there are no complications.

Are there any special hair dyes that will dye my black/dark brown hair?

A Ganglion Cyst is a small area, typically like a small sack of fluid which feels like a hard ball shape under the skin, usually found around the wrist area. There is no real cure for them, but years ago they did the "Bible Treatment", where they would lay the patient's hand/wrist flat on a table and literally smash the top of the wrist area with the family Bible (which was thick) causing the cyst to burst. But eventually the cyst could, and would reform.
