Hi Jaadee. It may be a gangleon, I have had many over the years. I have one on the back of my left hand, it doesn't hurt, have had many that do. They do eventually go. I would still get it checked out though. Good luck

Is the swelling soft and does it itch? If so check in case you've been bitten by something, say a mosquito, a spider or something else, because I blow up like that when I get bitten. It does look like inflammation. You could try taking an anti histamine tablet and see if it helps, but I would see your doctor if it doesn't go down.
