The majority of lumps that appear on your body are harmless, especially the kind that feel soft and roll easily (lipomas).

Most lumps and swellings are benign (not cancerous). In general, when a lump or swelling appears suddenly (over 24 - 48 hours) and is painful, it is usually caused by an injury or an infection.


If the lump comes on slowly over several days or weeks and does not hurt, it may be a tumor.

Check with your doctor for sure.

I have a bump on my right hand it had alot of pain espeasially as I would use my hand and bend the fingers its close to my wrist, I did a little research and it looks like it might be a ganglieon.
