What Causes Soft And Red Lump On The Back Of Hand?

I noticed a blue bruise with a tender raised soft red lump in the middle of the back of my hand on Friday. At that time it was about 1.5 inches in diameter. Now it has spread all over the back of my hand - reddish brown and the raised red spot now is less tender but has enlarged slightly and is now colored whitish blue. Is this anything to be concerned about? It does not hurt and I have full use of that hand and fingers.

the lesion is quite superficial and of recent origin. it is not a thing to worry much a should be taken care of!

apply some cold/ice on it for temporary relief ; it may reduce the inflammation also!

it could be an infected bursa / ganglion or a hematoma; FNAC test could confirm that.

all the best and regards,
