Suggest Remedies For Purple Discoloration On The Knuckles Post Injury

I got a sports related injury to my middle finger today, but I thought it was just jammed. After awhile my finger had swollen up quite a bit. I assumed it was just a bad jam, but I noticed that the palm side of that finger was purple in the knuckle area but no where else of that finger. Any ideas of what it could be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is due to contusion. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. As of now, you can apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
