Nothing to worry about

It goes away with time after you rest your hands

Please is this for real

Yeah it does!
It is mainly associated with the type of streonous job you used your hands to do

That's a ganglion. The treatment is to have it surgically removed if you don't like the sight.

Don't feed the op wrong information.
Yes it's not a disease and won't affect his overall health,but that it goes away with time when he rests the hand is not true.

It is like you don't know what you are saying!
It goes away with time when he rest those hands from the streonous work he puts his hands to!
Not everything is surgery!

Thanks doc, what is the cause, is it fat related or something, and is there no massage cream that can nomalise it

Thanks bara, I really do appreciate your contributions.

Baralatie and dotokwus, both of you are quite correct, no need for argument please. Thanks my brothers.

There are many theories,but the exact cause is not definitely known.Some people are prone to it for yet undetermined reasons though activities contribute.
It's not fat.The fatty type of swelling is a lipoma.
Usually it's fluid that's inside,other times what is called fibrous tissue.
If it doesn't resolve on its own,which I haven't noticed from experience,u can just live with it.Otherwise,if it's causing you pychological trauma due to its disfiguring nature,have it evaluated by a professional.

Oh really? How long did you live with it, and was it growing continuously, then lastly what did it cost you to remove it

I had it since I knew myself. Sometimes it becomes very big that draws people's attention while sometimes anyone will hardly notice it is there. I removed it in Nigeria last December and the cost was 150k.

Thanks for the info bro

I think it's gradually giving way

I had this before, it started growing when I was pregnant for my last born, it continued until after I had him. One day, I noticed it started decreasing in size and like play like joke, it completely disappeared without a trace. I learnt that strenuous work with d hand is what causes it
