I have a lump on my wrist since using my Apple Watch

Since using my Apple Watch I have developed a lump on the inside of my wrist. It’s hard and not painful but it’s growing.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

Red, hard, large bump on my wrist from my Apple Watch 7 I’ve had my Apple Watch 7 since December of 2021. Today, I put it on the charger and noticed I have a large red lump on my wrist, right where the circular sensor rests. It doesn’t hurt, burn or itch, it is just there. This has never happened before. I only take the Watch off to charge it when I shower. I use it to track my sleep stats. I don’t want to put it back on now… I’m not sure what I should do? Contact Apple? ‘Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know what caused it and how to stop it from happening again? I really don’t want to stop wearing my Apple Watch.

apple watch ganglions Has anyone here gotten ganglion cysts on wrist while wearing an apple watch? This was my experience. After wearing a new apple watch for one week, a painful cyst developed on the top my wrist where I was wearing the watch. When I finally made the connection, I stopped wearing the watch & within two days the swelling has nearly disappeared. I may try a different band (perhaps some fabric more breathable than plastic). Who else has experienced this problem & does anyone know of a fix for it?

Then you should consult a doctor, perhaps a dermatologist regarding the issue.
