Bruising (ecchymosis) happens when small blood vessels (capillaries) under the skin break. This causes bleeding within skin tissues. You will also see discolorations from the bleeding. Most of us get bruises from bumping into something from time to time. Bruising sometimes increases with age.
Easy bruising is the frequent appearance of purple, brown or red discolorations on your skin. Skin bruising from bumps, sprains, bites or trauma is normal and indicates that underlying blood vessels are broken or bleeding.This bleeding can take the form of pinpoint dots (petechiae), larger, flat areas (purpura), or broad areas of bruising (ecchymosis).kin bruising from bumps, sprains, bites or trauma is normal and indicates that underlying blood vessels are broken or bleeding.
