What causes a bruise on the knuckles of the hand?
Bruised knuckles are often caused from blunt trauma to your finger or hand. A hard fall, sports injury, or a fistfight can also cause this injury. This trauma causes your knuckle to swell and bleed under the skin, though there are no broken bones. In milder cases, a bruised knuckle can take days to heal. If severe, it could take weeks.
