Is a ganglion cyst hard or soft to touch?

It is usually hard to the touch. Usually people don't get it taken care of unless it is painful or restricts movement ( or really obvious and ugly). When you touch it it will be hard usually but you should be able to move it around a little. Here are some fun pictures. Recovery from most surgeries is usually 1-2 wks.

its hard to the touch but when you have it removed it looks like clear jelly, also it has a high probability of returning.
