What Causes Small Pink Bump On Hands?
I have a small bump on my hand that has been there for over 2 months now. It doesn t hurt or itch. It is a pink color. When I try to squeeze it, it turns red. Sometimes blood or a clear liquid will come out when I squeeze it. Any idea what it may be?

Hi,
Small red bump on your hand may be cherry angioma. It is a benign condition causing no harm. It may remain unchanged. But rupturing it may cause infection, so do not squeez it. If it is embarassing, you may go for removal. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. If it is so what I suggested, then it may be cauterised under local anaesthesia. It is a simple minore procedure done in OPD.
You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
