A ganglion cyst is a mass that can develop in various locations on the hand, most commonly on the back or the upper side of the wrist (dorsal wrist). Ganglion cysts are the most common form of growth on the hand. These cysts are most often harmless and are not cancerous masses. In fact, 95% of growths on the hand are discovered to be benign tumors, and 60% of this number is made up of ganglion cysts. These cysts are filled with fluids, and most often, they appear and disappear very quickly. #gan

A ganglion cyst is a lump that commonly forms on or near joints and tendons, typically appearing as a small, round sac filled with a gelatinous fluid. These cysts often develop in the wrist or hand but can also occur in other parts of the body. While the exact cause is unknown, they are believed to result from the leakage of synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid found in joints. Ganglion cysts are usually painless and harmless. #ganglioncystpopping #ganglioncyst #doctor #DIY #homeremedy | Doctor
