couldve happened any number of ways tbh. you mightv itched it without realising, your top couldve rubbed, a bag couldve done it, you may have brushed something, etc.
keep an eye on it for a few days

You probably just brushed against something that scratched you without realising - that's happened to me before.

Too bad I'm absolutely neurotic about getting HIV or anything else but I'm sure its OK. I have a tendency to rub my lower wrist when stressed, I might have done it too hard without realising!


LOL! You're being too paranoid about it! I'm sure it is just a small wound.:smile:

LOL I seriously am though. I am absolutely neurotic about anything that draws blood, especially cos I have NO idea how it happened. It looks like human scatch marks, but surely I'd have noticed if someone had scrabbed me hard enough to draw blood? Its possible I did it to myself I guess, since I do have a tendancy to rub at that wrist when I'm stressed. I'm just mystified as to how on earth I didn't notice it.

I have cut myself accidentally several times without realizing it. You probably caught your hand on a bush or rough brick building corner.

You probably just scratched it yourself (especially as you said you have a tendency to rub your wrist), i do it all the time especially in my sleep- i wake up in the morning covered in scratches on my wrists and arms and belly!!

Ohh this happened to me, completely freaked out when I saw my arm and wrist was covered in scratches (and new ones were appearing every day). Turns out the bracelet I wear everyday had broken, and had a piece of wire sticking out of it.
