What Could Blood Spot Under The Skin Of Hands Of An Infant Mean?

My 3 month old baby seems to have blood spot right under the skin on her hands. one on each side. I thought it was a little scratch from her nail or something, but upon closer inspection it is actually under the skin on the palm of her hands. It may still be from her little nail because she could not have gotten into any thing. she can hardly even grab yet. she does clinch her fists. she wants to grab. could this be more serious?

Dear friend,

It is impossible to say what the spot may be. It might be useful to see the spot or at least a picture of it. If it isn't too problematic, do send a picture of the spot - and I will be glad to help you with the situation.
