How To Treat Soreness And Pain In The Palm Of The Hand?

I have bruised the palm of my hand on more than one occasion in the same general area. The bruising occurs at the base of my ring finger on the fleshy part of my palm and is very painful. Both times I only used my hand to grasp something which resulted in a visible bruise appearing immediately and soreness which lasts for days. Is this just bad luck or could it mean something is not quite right ? Thanks

Could be either. With ONLY one spot having bruises, then all the serious conditions involving blood clotting are just very unlikely. THEN, it's what causes irritation one spot. There can be just a mechanical reason. Usually is. The flesh is thin there, the area is exposed. Frequently there is also a bony part (bone spur)
