Subcutaneous congestion is caused by the damage of the microvascular damage under the skin, and the blood stasis under the skin, which forms subcutaneous blood stasis. The skin of the blood stasis is blue-purple, and there is no big problem except for the slight uplift and pain in the vicinity of the wound. It should be noted whether the damage of the following bones and internal organs is caused by hard edema in the palm of the hand, and early flushing occurs. Sexual fingers have large pieces of peeling, which is common at the junction of the nail bed skin.
