Question 1

my eyes are jaundiced and have broken vessels in the bottoms of them under the lids. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Liver problem: The yellow color you describe is related to an elevated bilirubin, a chemical usually processed by the liver. The bleeding of the conjuctiva may be incidental but may indicate a bleeding problem also associated with liver disease.

Question 2

i have sciotica in my left side causing my spine to curve and shooting stabbing pain through my left leg and now broken vessels on my left calf.

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Broken vessels visible under your skin are not related to the sciatica or scoliosis in any way.  They are not generally indicative of anything other than age.

Question 3

afraid i have sarcom on top of foot after bump and large bruise. was told broken vessel after x-ray and cancer wouldn't bruise like that. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Hematoma, not sarcom: You most likely have a hematoma (a pooled collection of blood clots underneath the skin), a common condition that can occur after a physical injury. It's more common if you are on blood thinners. Sarcomas are usually slow-growing lumps (takes months/yrs) . The only way to be sure is to perform a biopsy. Continue treatment, but talk to a doc who knows you well, esp if not healing. Or use HT Prime.

Question 4

Question 5

endoscopic ultrasound detect liver problems? will having a normal hida scan till our liver damage? i think i see broken vessels on my chest. ive had ct scan found spot on liver mildly inflamed gallbladder and ultrasounds showed nothing hida either?

Accepted Answer

: If your liver blood tests and an ultrasound of the liver are completely normal, I would be reassured that you have very  little chance of having liver pathology. A gastroenterologist or hepatologist can advise you best,however.

Question 6

numb mouth and super soft teeth along with bumps on cheeks and two white lines on inner cheeks both sides and upper back teeth cheeks are broken vessels and sore throat, dr provived no help tho?

Accepted Answer

: I suspect you are oral infection with local reactive tonsils. Based on that you described, I could not tell exactly what the cause is but for sure you need antibiotic. 
You need to see another doctor or visit urgent care especially if you have underlying disease.

Question 7

what do broken blood vessels look like?

Accepted Answer

Black and blue.: If a vein is damaged from trauma, usually you will see discoloration of the skin either immediately after the injury or several days later.  This occurs from blood escaping from the vein and leaking into the skin.  Initially this may be dark (black and blue) and over several days as the body absorbs the blood, the color changes to yellow and then resolves.

Question 8

how long does it take for broken blood vessels to heal?

Accepted Answer

Usually 7 to 10 days: If a vein is bruised this usually results in bleeding either under the skin to form a hematoma (trapped clotted blood) or from the skin directly.  Veins injured below the skin with a hematoma will take about 7 to 10 days to heal while a vein bleeding from the skin will usually stop with direct pressure and heal within 5 to 7 days.

Question 9

sm broken blood vessels over the whole body. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Platelet abnormal, or blood issue and needs full exam and blood work.

Question 10

why do i have what looks like broken blood vessels on my shoulders from lifting a heavy object?

Accepted Answer

Bruise: A broken blood vessel causes bruising - extravasation of blood (blood coming out of vessel). Lifting heavy objects serves a stress factor for vessels as it causes pressure to build up in capillaries and if it is high enough to break the vessel wall, it causes blood to come out and build up under the skin causing ecchimosis or what we know as bruising.
