A member asked:
I got a sharp pain today in my wrist, i thought it was a bug bite. it's now bruised and looks more like a broken blood vessel. is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: It is strange that a blood vessel would spontaneously rupture. If your hand moves, feels and looks like normal, you are OK. Check out the cause with your doctor. All the best.
