Usually trauma: The veins on top of the hands are very prone to injury from simply hitting them against an object. This would be the most common reason for them to be bruised and subsequently bleed. Other causes could be medications that you are taking such as aspirin, fish oil and even some vitamins. You may want to follow up with a vein specialist for an evaluation.

Blood vessels: You did not mention meds you are taking that affect clotting time. If there are none , there is a possibility of thin walled vessels. See a vascular specialist for assistance.

What causes all your fingers to suddenly start tingling and blood vessels to swell in the hands/wrist?
My wrist was hurting, I looked at it and a huge blue bump has formed between a couple of veins. My wrist and fingers and arm are turning numb?
My dog bit my wrist where my veins are, there isnt any blood, just a bump where it swelled up, should i be concerned?
If I use my sharp finger nail and press it on a blood vessel at my foot very hard , will it snap and will it repair itself?
