Bowler’s thumb, also known as bowler's neuroma, jeweler's thumb, cherry pitter's thumb or digital neuropathy of the thumb, is an injury to the thumb due to compression of the nerves.

LOOK OUT...

Symptoms like redness and bruising may appear different on different coloured skin. 

Bruising can sometimes be an indication that something more sinister is going on internally; if in doubt, get it checked out!

A visual deformity in these examples is different to swelling.
