A member asked:

Good day, i have a sudden bruise on my right hand which has been sore for the past couple of days. it looks like there is a clot not sure but its dark?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens: This may have arisen from a random trauma you don't even remember. There is a complex of small arteries & capillaries that can break & form a painful clot/ lump. The bleed would produce a darkening under the skin. These resolve over time & are of no particular risk to you.
