what causes rid of a blood blister on hand?

Accepted Answer

Keep it covered: This is usually caused by a sever pinch to the skin that breaks a small blood vessel under the skin, but does not cut the top layer of skin.  A small amount of blood then accumulates under the skin.  It will go away with time.  You can apply ice to help with any swelling.  Keep it covered with a bandaide.
