A member asked:
Why do blood veins break in your hands without an injury to them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incidental trauma: Some people have thin skin, loss of fat in the hands or friable veins. The smallest bump or tear can lead to bruising, particularly if you are on medications like aspirin.
