Trauma: Depending on how hard you smacked your hand, you may have damaged the blood vessels and there may be a bleeding into the tissues. Apply ice to the area and keep it elevated. It is not likely to be due to mosquito bite. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.
