The initial phase of the development of many diseases goes unnoticed, without obvious signs. But sooner or later, the human body begins to give alarming signals about the destructive processes taking place inside it. Such a signal is, for example, the resulting bump on the hand.
Unlike the emerging skin seals on other, less open areas of the body, a bump on the arm is detected at a very early stage of its development. It’s hard not to notice it, whether it brings pain or doesn’t “get in the way of life” at all.
Gygroma
The causes and "places" of bumps are different. These are, perhaps, manifestations of gout, osteoporosis, arthrosis, arthritis, varicose veins of the upper extremities. A bump on the finger tends to lead to curvature of the fingers and painful sensations.
But the most common cause is problems with the joints of the hands, caused by excessive physical exertion or injury to the hand. This leads to inflammation in the joints and the deposition of s alts in them.
Hygroma looks like a bump on the arm under the skin. This creates the feeling that there is a solid ball inside the tumor. Usually, the hygroma is "born" on the wrist joint, which causes physical discomfort to the movements of the hand. Usually,the tumor has a diameter of half a centimeter to three, is inactive and does not change skin color.
Many "owners" of hygroma live with it all their lives. They get used to it, not really feeling her presence. In this case, the bump on the hand does not require surgery.
Referring to specialist doctors is required if the hygroma becomes a source of constant pain, increases in size, or corny violates the beauty of the hands, which is very important for women.
Hygroma treatment
Initially, a rather “barbaric” method was used to remove the hygroma - crushing. Its essence was reduced to a mechanical blow to the bump in order to push the joint fluid and other elements accumulated inside it into the surrounding tissues.
Such a "hard" method more often led to unpleasant relapses - a bump on the arm was subjected to acute inflammation and suppuration. In addition, over time, the structure of the tumor was restored and acquired its original shape.
In the 80s of the last century, such treatment was recognized as ineffective and inhumane, having found a more effective and "merciful" alternative. Now they use a puncture of the bump, followed by pumping out its "stuffing" and injecting drugs.
Surgical "cutting out" of the tumor is also relevant, after which the wound is disinfected and the remnants of the "growth" are completely removed using laser technology.
The need for such methods of treating bumps on the hands arises when the state of the disease is “neglected”. At the early stagesthe development of hygroma, procedures such as electrophoresis, ultraviolet irradiation, paraffin and mud applications can stop and even “eliminate” the tumor.
There are also a lot of "folk ways" to get rid of bumps on the hands. But seeking help from qualified doctors is more preferable, since the causes of the formation of growths can be different, and, in addition to physical removal of the bump, additional treatment may be necessary.
