    As the others have said, it’s a blood blister. The can happen if you pinch you hand and or do something that results in a lot of friction. Very common for folks that use their hands a lot.

      Best to do nothing.

      I mean, it depends on some stuff.

      I grew up on a farm, and it was common to get these and regular blisters when work was starting up again. If you ignore it, it will 100% get better on its own.

      But it’s going to prevent you from doing work. So if you got shit to do, you can pop it, put some antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on, and go right back to work.

      So yeah chances are OP should leave it. But its not like there’s a big negative to popping them. A little more pain for a short period, but the pains over faster. Let it get better on its own and you risk it popping on its own if you’re still needing to do stuff.

      Since the risk to popping is infection afterwards, a blood blister on the palm like that I’d pop it and get it over with in a sterile setting. Even tho I don’t do manual labor now, nobody wants to grab a door handle and squirt blood all over it because it popped

    As everyone else has said, it’s a blood blister.

    What hasn’t been mentioned is that those sometimes rise up through the skin instead of dissolving as they heal. If that happens, throw a bandage on it and keep it clean. Your usual wound care should be fine.

    The location of that would bother me. I tend to drain mine so I don’t have to feel them for weeks. Draining results in the skin eventually falling off within a few days.
