It is a ganglion cyst and wrist is the most common site for it to occur.
If it is a small lump and you have no symptoms you can leave it as such.
If you have concern/symptoms you can get it removed by a small surgery under local anaesthesia/regional anaesthesia.
Not a major surgery so no need to worry

Ganglion cyst is very common.small cyst doesn't require surgery
Unless it's increasing in size or causing pain , we need not operate. Reoccurrence is very common even after surgery
