What causes lump on wrist with a bruise?
Patient: I had a small lump form on my wrist with very sharp pain. After maybe 15 minutes, the pain started to get better slowly. I then noticed a bruise had formed around that spot. As far as I know, I did not hit it on anything. Is this something to be concerned about? Doctor: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!If I were your treating Doctor for this case of wrist nodule with bruise, I would come up with three possibilities, these include: 1.     some insect bite or small hematoma due to unnoticed trauma2.     a neurofibroma or ganglion cyst with pressure effect      3.     folliculitis or some microabscess I suggest you take some ice/cold compress and wait for a while; if not receding then go for an FNAC of the nodule for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!Hope this answers your question.
