okay so i was using a nut cracker to crack some nuts and you know how you have to put your hand over it so the shell wont fly everywhere? well i put my hand over it and it pinched my hand it hurt and it started to bleed to it didnt break my skin it kinda just bleed under my skin. Well this happened like 4 days ago and well now it's a dried up blood dark red color spot on my hand.

kristamikele answered Thursday January 8 2009, 5:29 pm: There are two different kinds of this. One is a blister, which can pop, but the other is just like a spot of dried blood stuck under your skin. The kind with the dried blood stuck under your skin can stick around for a really long time, even months. the only way you will be able to get rid of it is to dig the thing out. It shouldn't be causing you any pain, but if you can't stand the sight of it, you can have your Mom (or adult) dig it out. It probably isn't very deep, which is why you can see it so clearly. Soak it in water to soften the skin first. [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]
thelaura answered Thursday January 8 2009, 12:09 pm: It's a blood blister. It doesn't sound like a bad one, either. Sometimes, they can pop (if there's a bubble) and cause quite a bit of pain. If there is a little bubble, don't pop it - it can just cause infection. If there isn't a bubble, don't worry about it and it will just disappear on it's own. I've had my fair share of pinches and got quite a few of them. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

I've had one of these before when I pinched my finger, and it popped up right after it happened but then it went back down into my skin and was just a red spot, like you've described. It goes away after awhile. All the blood dries up and the skin underneath it replaces it. Don't worry about it! [ curliecue's advice column | Ask curliecue A Question ]
