You smash is in a door or something?
Looks like a blood blister, if so, no worries
Wrong community but it's most likely a blood blister
As everyone else has said, it's a blood blister.
What hasn't been mentioned is that those sometimes rise up through the skin instead of dissolving as they heal. If that happens, throw a bandage on it and keep it clean. Your usual wound care should be fine.
Blood blister 👍
Your hand is taking a shit dude
The location of that would bother me. I tend to drain mine so I don't have to feel them for weeks. Draining results in the skin eventually falling off within a few days.
As the others have said, it’s a blood blister. The can happen if you pinch you hand and or do something that results in a lot of friction. Very common for folks that use their hands a lot.
It's a blood blister like u/MyPornViewingAccount suggested. Best to do nothing. It will go away.
Best to do nothing.
I mean, it depends on some stuff.
I grew up on a farm, and it was common to get these and regular blisters when work was starting up again. If you ignore it, it will 100% get better on its own.
But it's going to prevent you from doing work. So if you got shit to do, you can pop it, put some antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on, and go right back to work.
So yeah chances are OP should leave it. But its not like there's a big negative to popping them. A little more pain for a short period, but the pains over faster. Let it get better on its own and you risk it popping on its own if you're still needing to do stuff.
Since the risk to popping is infection afterwards, a blood blister on the palm like that I'd pop it and get it over with in a sterile setting. Even tho I don't do manual labor now, nobody wants to grab a door handle and squirt blood all over it because it popped
