Hello Doctor,

 

Should I be concerned if two small bubbles or dots of what I think is blood appeared under my skin on my hand about 2 days ago?

Petechiae: These are tiny, red, pinpoint spots that can appear under the skin due to bleeding. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including certain medical conditions or medications.

 

Infection: In some cases, infections such as cellulitis or abscesses can cause localized redness, swelling, and fluid accumulation under the skin. Trauma or injury to that area of your hand, it's possible that these bubbles or dots could be a result of broken blood vessels under the skin
