A member asked:
I was shaving my husbands hair (so no trauma) and the vein in the middle of my arm burst and left my arm purple and very sore. what's going on?!

Black and blue: If a vein should burst then what you will see is the formation of discoloration of the skin around the area of the burst vein. This is what we call a black and blue area(ecchymosis). Over several more days this will slowly fade and disappear.
