Is your cyst hard or soft?

People sometimes get calcium spurs in the hand. Using some tool, or a video game controller can be triggers.

I had a hard lump on the side of my left index finger this summer, between 2 joints. I applied magnesium lotion to it liberally and it finally shrank away.

There is a condition called Pseudogout, that women get more often than men, and it involves calcium being deposited along bones.

My son had a hard lump in his palm, near the base of his 3rd finger (ring finger) from a video game controller. It reabsorbed in a few weeks, and never came back.

There are soft cysts of fat that may form along tendons called lipomas.

These would feel rather soft, compared to a calcium spur which would be rather hard.
