Mystery Bruise/lump On Back of Hand...insect Bite?
Posted: 04-19-05 15:59pm

Hi people.
Last week I noticed a painful area on the back of my left hand. I thought nothing of it until the next few days, the pain was still there, only I could also see what looked like a needle/pin prick mark or insect bite mark. Now, I havent had injections in my hand recently so its not that, which is what leads me to believe its some kind of insect bite. Currently there is a painful bump/lump/swelling about the size of a small pea width-wise, but its not very raised, and around it is a bruise about 1.5 inches in diameter. Does this sound like an insect bite or something else perhaps? Its kind of annoying me now so I thought I wud ask you guys your opinions.

Thanks

Your description does sound like an insect bite but because you said there was a bruise around it then it may not be. I would use an ointment on it for a few days if you havnt already and see if that clears it up. If it doesnt then I would see a skin doctor. You never know you could have been stung by a wasp or something while you were asleep but that isnt likely... You never know though. But anyways try a cream on your soar and if it doesnt clear up then I would definetly let a doctor look at your hand. I hope this helps and good luck.
