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).
Aging is also a cause of broken blood vessels. The red spots common on the elderly are not the color of aging skin. They are the result of broken blood vessels. As the human body gets older, it becomes fragile and prone to damage. After years of hardship and exposure to the sun, the skin gets fragile and so do the blood vessels.
