A member asked:

Why do my veins blow for no reason, very painful bruising, no injury, iv, or injection, no explanation, usually only in my hands and arms. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How old are you?: Senile purpura on the back of hands and arms is a result of very thin skin due to aging. It is painless. There is no remedy available. If it is very painful it should be seen by a DR.
