A member asked:
Barely hit my hand/fingers & the vein/vessel burst, stings, hurts & then turns purple. i'm in my 30's & had this since a child. why? what causes it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vein bursting: If you are experiencing increasing amounts of bruising, there are a few concerns. One would be if your blood is unusually thin. This can be because of low platelets (the clotting cell of your blood) or a decrease in the amounts of clotting factors. You should discuss this with your doctor as simple blood tests can diagnosis this. There can also be structural problems with the veins causing this.
