Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Bruise On My Right Hand Extending To My Thumb?
I have a bruise on my right hand extending my thumb at the web between the 1st and 2nd fingers up about 1/2 inch onto the 2nd finger. It extends about two inches onto my top of my hand and about one inch onto the palm. It is shiny and a funny red purple color except in the center where it is almost the normal color of my skin. Is this a bruise or could it be a bite? It is painful but only to extreme pressure.
Hello, Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. These are signs of inflammation or infection that could come from bite or brusing so you should see the doctor to give you antibiotics. I wish you quick recovery. Dr. Selmani
