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).
When the blood sugar is high, the blood vessels get damaged, causing localized weak areas. Over time, these weak areas start to protrude out, forming a microaneurism. When an aneurism bursts, blood enters into the vitreous, causing a vitreous hemorrhage. Abnormal vessels that grow in response to low oxygen levels in retinal vascular conditions (proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vein occlusions, etc) are very fragile and tend to leak. Sometimes these abnormal vessels grow from the retina into the vitreous cavity and leak blood, causing a vitreous hemorrhage. Mechanical damage to the blood vessels of the retina can occur from a retinal tear or trauma to the eye. Like any other part of the body, if a blood vessel gets damaged, it will start to bleed.
