We often fall victim to bleeding into the skin or bruising that happens after we get injured. Generally, this problem is not so serious and can be easily treated at home. But when the skin bleeding becomes intense, spontaneous, or chronic, there can be serious consequences or complications. Let us learn about the causes and preventive measures of skin bleeding to avoid further complications, and to know the right timing to consult a doctor.
Bleeding into skin or hemorrhaging, takes place under the skin, causing the surrounding area to change color.
Whenever a blood vessel ruptures, it causes the blood to leak into the tissues and spaces nearby. This is basically what hemorrhaging is. When hemorrhaging takes place under the skin, the blood leaks to the skin nearby that causes darkening. Usually, this discoloration is a mixture of shades of red, blue, black, or purple.
