I've had this on and off since my teens, although the earlier incidents may have been normal teenage trauma/contusion and/or nutrition provocations. I'm male--Achenbach's is usually female--in my late 60's.
The incidents are mild and I notice the discoloration only because of the accompanying stinging (also mild). I also have Reynauds syndrome, commonly associated with the syndrome.
Sometimes there is a provoking pressure incident, but almost always not severe pressure. Some 99% of manual labor does not not provoke these hematomas, including really hard gripping and or shear tension on the fingers, such as gripping a screwdriver and turning a stuck bolt for example: that causes no problems. If memory serves, it's something grabbed onto that has a slight give to the surface, such as a rubbery-surfaced handle.
