can bruising and broken blood vessels happen anywhere
Broken capillaries can occur anywhere on the body. They appear as red bruise spots on skin surface. Particularly they are noticeable on face and legs. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels under the skin surface. They break easily as they are delicate and fragile, especially when they are subjected to outer or inner pressure. Mere scrubbing your skin too hard or too much exposure to sun can cause capillary damage.
