A member asked:
What happens when you bust your vein on your knuckle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black and blue: I a vein should burst then what you will see is the formation after several days 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.
