Worrying is the lump on the arm? This is a hygroma

The initial phase of development of many diseases proceeds imperceptibly, 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, formed cone on the hand.

Unlike the resulting dermal seals in other, less open areas of the body, a lump on the arm is detected at the earliest stage of its development. It is difficult not to notice it, regardless of whether it brings painful sensations or does not "interfere with life" at all.

Hygroma

The causes and "places" of cones are different. These are, perhaps, manifestations of gout, osteoporosis, arthrosis, arthritis, upper limb varicose. The cone on the finger has the property to lead to the 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 a hand injury. This leads to inflammatory processes in the joints and the deposition of salts in them.

The hygroma looks like a lump on the arm under the skin. This creates a feeling that inside the tumor there is a solid ball. Usually the hygroma is "born" on the wrist joint, which causes physical hand discomfort to the movements of the hand. As a rule, the tumor has a diameter from half a centimeter to three, is inactive and does not change the color of the skin.

Many "owners" of the hygroma live with it all their lives. They get used, not really feeling her presence. In this case, the cone on the arm does not require surgical intervention.

Appeal to specialist doctors is required if the hygroma becomes a source of permanent pain, increases in size or corny disrupts the beauty of the hands, which is very important for women.

Treatment of hygroma

Initially, to remove the hygroma, a rather "barbarous" method was used - crushing. Its essence was reduced to a mechanical blow to the cone in order to squeeze the articular fluid accumulated inside it and other elements into the surrounding tissues.

This "hard" method often led to unpleasant relapses - a bump on the hand was subjected to acute inflammations and suppuration. In addition, over time, the structure of the tumor was restored and acquired the original form.

In the 80s of the last century such treatment was recognized as ineffective and inhumane, finding a more effective and "merciful" alternative. Now they use a puncture of the cone, followed by pumping out its "stuffing" and injecting drugs into it.

Also, surgical "excision" of the tumor is actual, after which the disinfection of the wound and complete removal of the remnants of the "build-up" with the help of laser technologies are performed.

The need for such methods of treating cones on the hands occurs when the disease is "neglected". At the early stages of hygroma development, procedures such as electrophoresis, ultraviolet irradiation, paraffin and mud applications can stop and even "eliminate" the tumor.

There is also a mass of "folk ways" to get rid of cones on the hands. But recourse to qualified doctors is more preferable, since the causes of the build-up can be different, and, perhaps, in addition to physically eliminating the cone, additional treatment is necessary.
