Something's growing on my hand...

Hi all,

So I've had this little bump growing on my hand for a while now (maybe about a year?).. I thought it was a wart so I've been using wartner to treat it for a while but no progress... It doesn't hurt or anything, but it's just annoying seeing a little bump on my otherwise clean hand..

Do I need to get this surgically removed, or do you think there's other things I can do without going into a hospital?

Do your Liquibets, boy!

But I would go to a Dermatologist, it should be pretty cheap if you have insurance and they'll do more than enough to treat you. Most Dermatologists are nicer than other doctors, too!

Any type of growth that doesn't go away very quickly I would definitely want to show to a doctor.

growth on your hand, confirmed as not a wart and you STILL don't want to go see a doctor?? ok, then, here's what you do, (if your country is anything like France) go to a pharmacy and show the pharmacist, it's free, and they will tell you if you should see a doctor.

anyways, I really think you should go to a doctor

I had the same thing (a bit smaller) on my finger like 5 years ago. I finally got tired of seeing it and cut it. It hurt and bled and started healing as a smaller bump. I cut it again and after several times it just disappeared with no signs of ever being there for some reason. I don't really recommend doing this though.

Edit: actually I don't want you to die because I gave an irrelevant story about my bump, which could be very different from what you have. You never know about these things unless you have medical training; it could be anything.

Some kind of wart maybe? getting medical advice online generally isn't a great idea though...

this is TL, not 4chan, and I like to think that most of us are mature enough to recommend the proper course of action ie: going to the doctor's

I had something similar, for a year as well. I heated up the tip of a nail clipper with a lighter for 5 minutes, then proceeded to burn the beast. Might work, IF you can handle physical agony.

I suggest exposing it to a highly acidic substance. Battery (sulfuric) acid might do the trick actually. You could see a doctor but they really are overrated and google half of their diagnoses anyways. Fix the problem yourself trial and error and feel good about it afterward.

Maybe you have a callus? Although, those appear mostly on the finger if you grip your pencil tightly when writing.

do you feel this is the result of how you game and that part of your hand rubbing on the keyboard to create a callus or something?

Maybe it's a ganglion cyst? They're common on the wrist and fingers but I'm not so sure about the palm of your hand. Just like everyone else has suggested, seeing a doctor is probably wise.

Gonna have to agree with everyone that says see a doctor. Like someone else said, while it doesn't look like a melanoma (skin cancer), it's been there a year and it's been growing? Better to be safe.

Probably some type of wart. Easy to ignore when they're small, but I agree, annoying when they're noticeable. See a doctor and he'll probably be able to just spray it with liquid nitrogen to burn it off. It doesn't really hurt, just stings a little. Then over a couple of weeks new skin will grow up and it'll fall off with the dead burnt skin. Probably won't return, though some types of warts are hardy.

Just looks like a wart

expensive way of dealing with it? get it NO2'd off at a doctor.

cheap way of dealing with it? Put some duct tape on it for a week or so, then scrape the remains off with a toothpick or something, or just google "how to remove a wart with duct tape"

I don't know why people are looking at his growth when there's obviously a bigger problem at hand. If you look on his screen, he doesn't have his liquidbets in. He needs to get on that before worrying about his other mundane affairs.

I have a friend at college who has something that looks almost exactly the same on his knuckle, (think it'd have to be surgically removed) I really doubt its anything serious, but you'd want to know what it is.

But if its growing, thats not good.

Don't cut don't cut! Don't ever cut something off your body! It sounds goofy but common! What would you rather do: Go to a doctor and have him tell you its nothing and give you a topical creme, or cut it off with an X-Acto knife then be rushed to the emergency ward 2 weeks later with a serious infection and now your hand needs to be chopped off. Which one man? Go to a doctor.

I had a similar thing on my thigh, while i did consider getting it looked up, i took the easy way out an used a siccor. Woked out for me, however, it kinda came back, not as big thou. So i don't care much, now it just looks like a grothmark

Since its on the hand however, id get it looked up and surgically removed.

Hey might be a what-do-you-call it... a person with another person living inside it? Fetus in fetu.

What it basically is, is that a fetus lives and creates a link between both twins so its actually growing inside of you. Get yourself checked! Unless you want a parasite living inside you until your 30 :x

i think it might be a wart or a mole possibly? I had a bump like that on my foot up until a couple months ago when i decided to get rid of it. Regardless, i imagine its most likely benign, just a bit negative in terms of cosmetics
