Appeared over the last few days, hard lump on the back of DD's hand. It seems to be getting bigger too. Any ideas? She's 3.

We're on holiday but I'll be taking her to see the GP when we get home on Tuesday.

A ganglion maybe? My grandmother said you should whack them with the bible to get rid! Not for a minute suggesting you do that Grin

Just a ganglion

Just a ganglion cyst. Whack it with a book.

Ganglion. Either whack it with a Bible or bury a piece of steak in the garden. Said my DM and DGM. I whacked mine with a book, not a bible as didn't have one at the time apart from a pocket sized one, and yes it went Grin

Ganglion cyst. I had one that just kept getting bigger and bigger had to have it aspirtated twice to get rid of it.

Thanks everyone, we took her to see the GP when we got back off holiday and she confirmed it was a ganglion. It has since gone down a lot!
