blood blister

Pinched skin pouch

A blood blister is a blister filled with blood rather than clear fluid, typically caused by pinching or crushing that ruptures small blood vessels beneath the skin: I got a blood blister from catching my finger in the door.

Like regular blisters, they usually heal on their own if left unbroken.
