Bleeding into the skin. Bleeding into the skin can occur from broken blood vessels that form tiny red dots (called petechiae). Blood also can collect under the tissue in larger flat areas (called purpura), or in a very large bruised area (called an ecchymosis).
How does a broken blood vessel occur? Broken blood vessels are caused when a clot forms and makes the blood vessel bulge from the added pressure. As the blood passes by the clot, it causes the blood vessel itself to bulge from the added pressure. Gradually, the vessel is weakened and it breaks.
