Suggest Treatment For Rubber Band Like Mark On The Wrist

My 5 month old son doesn't open his hands alot, ever since he was born he fights with us to open his hands all the way. He usually has a closed fist. Tonight I was looking at his hands/arms and I noticed that on his wrist line it looks as if he has had a tight rubber band on there... what would this be?
