What to do about blue patch on my thumb?

Question

I was playing basketball today and i injured my thumb and now there is a little blue patch on the top right under my nail. It doesn't really hurt at all unless i put enough pressure on it. The only thing I am worried about is that i have a blue spot on my thumb and I'm wondering if it is some sort of nerve damage or something.Should i get get it checked out or just wait till it heals?

It's probably just a bruise.  If you can still move your thumb and use it normally, I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about.
