Probably a ganglion
If no symptoms - don’t do anything
If symptoms like pain or increase in size - consult orthopedician
Next Steps
Consult an orthopedician/hand surgeon if you want it removed.

Chances of recurrence are very high if you go for surgery.

It is a ganglionic cyst..usually causes pressure symptoms and pain when increases in size..there are two treatment options..one is local steroid intra lessionally every 15 days untill the swelling subsides..another option is surgical removal of the cyst..
