Noticed a sudden lump on your wrist? While it can feel alarming, many wrist lumps are harmless and often caused by ganglion cysts — noncancerous fluid-filled bumps near joints or tendons. Symptoms like pain, redness, numbness, rapid growth, or limited movement may signal the need for medical attention. Doctors can evaluate the lump through exams, imaging, or fluid testing to determine the best treatment and help prevent complications.
