What Causes Bleeding Into The Skin And Swelling On Wrist?

Was working in the back yard sawing limbs with chain saw and noticed what appears to be a broken blood vessel in the wrist area. is this something I should seek medical treatment for or should I simply elevate the wrist and apply ice packs to keep the swelling down? Thank You!
