What can cause red capillaries to burst on ankles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: Injury to these small blood vessels can cause this, or chronic swelling of the ankles cause these vessels to distend and leak/burst with age or injury. There are medical and drug causes for capillary fragility or increased bleeding, so talk to your doctor about this if it gets worse.
