What To Do For Bruising In The Hand Due To Cut?
i punched something hard several times and I have like 4 very tiny cuts. not even deep just like scrapes. it was very red a painful but the next morning it was very red an puffy with bruising. the bruising is a little on the knuckles but a big circle on the top of the hand. and it hurts to make it totally flat since my hand was in a punching position. I can open it but not like totally flat. I don t want to tell my mom what should I do? is it broke, just bruised im not sure.

Hello. It's likely this is just a hand contusion but if the pain and swelling don't improve greatly in the next two days you really will need x-rays to check for fractures
