Small hard lump under the skin and tumors Posted: 03-12-08 05:24am


I have just recently noticed a small, hard, pea shaped bump under my son's skin on his right hand - top side. It has just appeared in the last week and it does not move. Any clue as to what it could be?

It is very hard to answer your question without a clinical examination (inspection and palpation) of that “small, hard, pea shaped bump” under your son's skin on his right hand - top side. Generally, such a “small, hard, pea shaped bump under the skin” is considered as a tumor until the real nature is revealed. Clinical examination is the first step in diagnosing such “tumors”.
