Why do the vessels on the fingers burst and bruises appear, is it dangerous? The appearance of hemorrhages can indicate serious illnesses, so you need to pay attention to your health. Spontaneous bruising indicates vascular fragility.
Bruises on the fingers can occur for a variety of reasons.
The reason for this may be a decrease in the strength of the elastic fibers of the vascular walls or mechanical damage due to bruises or blows. In some cases, the capillaries burst due to increased stress at high blood pressure.
If the integrity of the blood vessels is compromised, blood collects under the skin, forming bruises. The most striking sign of capillary fragility is a spider vein (a burgundy mesh that appears on the skin, which is visible even in the photo). In this case, bruises on the fingers are formed for no apparent reason.
The person begins to notice that bruising is formed, even if he is doing normal work or with light contact of hands with objects.
The reasons
Vessels on the fingers can burst for various reasons. There are exogenous and endogenous factors that affect bruising.
Often, bruises appear on the fingers if they are bruised or hit. Other external reasons include:
- cosmetic manipulations (laser skin resurfacing or peeling);
- frostbite or burns;
- exposure to the skin of chemicals, ultraviolet rays;
- strong physical activity;
- uncontrolled use of anticoagulants.
Frostbite is one of the trigger factors for increased vascular fragility
Internal causes of vascular fragility and the appearance of bruises on the fingers include:
- disturbances in the work of the endocrine system in diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus;
- hypertension;
- autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatism);
- allergy;
- blood diseases (leukopenia, hemophilia);
- avitaminosis.
Often, increased fragility of blood vessels indicates age-related changes in the body. In older people, the vessels are quite fragile, so bruises are formed very often.
Additional symptoms
Sometimes bruising on the fingers for no apparent reason can be accompanied by other symptoms, such as:
- frequent nosebleeds;
- the appearance of hematomas and hemorrhages on other parts of the body (trunk, legs);
- headache;
- frequent dizziness;
- feeling of numbness in the limbs;
- darkening before the eyes when changing body position;
- increased blood pressure;
- pain or numbness in the fingers.
Treatment
To cope with the fragility of blood vessels allow drugs that strengthen the vascular walls and improve blood circulation. They can be prescribed by a doctor after consultation and testing.
To quickly fix the problem, the following ointments are used:
- Troxevasin;
- Troxerutin;
- Heparin;
- Bruise-OFF;
- Lyoton.
These drugs relieve swelling, have an anticoagulant effect and quickly eliminate bruises.
Ascorutin
Ascorutin is a combined drug from the group of capillary stabilizing agents. The drug contains ascorbic acid and rutoside trihydrate (vitamin P). The drug reduces capillary fragility and permeability, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces platelet aggregation.
Ascorutin should be used for 3-4 weeks
Ascorutin is taken after meals, 1 tablet 2-3 times a day. Depending on the nature of the disease, treatment continues for 3-4 weeks.
Contraindications to the use of the drug are:
- increased blood clotting;
- diabetes;
- gout;
- urolithiasis disease;
- severe renal dysfunction;
- hypersensitivity to its components.
Capilar
Kapilar contains extracts of dried chum, olive leaves, dihydroquercetin and sorbitol. The dietary supplement is a strong antioxidant and affects the veins, arteries and capillaries. The capilar improves blood flow, eliminates edema and reduces the permeability of the vascular wall.
Capilar is recommended to take courses
Adults are prescribed 1-2 tablets 2-3 times a day with meals. The duration of taking a biologically active food supplement depends on the severity of the pathology and is 3-4 weeks. Supplements are recommended to be taken in courses.
Etamsilat
Etamsylate is classified as an antihemorrhagic agent. It prevents the development of bleeding and is prescribed for serious diseases accompanied by a decrease in the level of platelets in the blood. Etamsylate is also used for capillary bleeding.
Etamsylate is indicated for a decrease in the level of platelets in the blood
Etamsylate is prescribed 1 tablet 2-3 times a day for a short period. Use with caution in thrombosis and thromboembolism. It is also contraindicated in people with hemoblastosis.
Vitamin complexes
In complex treatment, vitamin complexes are used: Vitrum, Supradin, Duovit. Vitamins should be taken before or after meals.
Vitamins are most often prescribed in addition to the main treatment
If the cause of vascular fragility is serious vascular or blood pathology, long-term complex treatment is necessary. It is very difficult to get rid of bruises on the fingers in this case.
Traditional methods of treatment
In order to quickly get rid of bruises, external folk remedies are used:
- recipe number 1: starch powder is diluted with warm water to the concentration of thick sour cream. The product is applied to the skin and left for 15 minutes, then washed off with warm water;
- recipe number 2: use raw potatoes to eliminate bruises on the fingers. It needs to be peeled and grated on a fine grater. The gruel is applied to the bruises for half an hour. If the skin of the hands is too dry and cracked, add olive, corn or flaxseed oil to the gruel;
- recipe number 3: fresh plantain leaves are thoroughly crushed, then a few drops of vitamin A and E are added. The product is applied to the skin and left for half an hour. The procedure is repeated daily until the condition of the skin improves;
- recipe number 4: horse chestnuts are crushed and poured with alcohol. After the remedy has been infused for a week, filter it and wipe the skin of the hands in the morning and evening;
- recipe number 5: cabbage leaves are slightly beaten off with the blunt side of a knife, smeared with honey, applied to the fingers and fixed with a bandage. The bandage is left overnight. The procedure is carried out daily until the bruises disappear.
To strengthen blood vessels, tinctures, decoctions and mixtures are used, which are taken orally:

- recipe number 3: mix in equal proportions chamomile flowers, nettle and sage leaves. A teaspoon of the collection is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for 40 minutes. Strain and take 100 ml in the morning and in the evening. The duration of treatment is two weeks;
- recipe number 4: a glass of mountain ash berries is crushed and covered with sugar. Every day, on an empty stomach, eat one tablespoon of the product. Treatment continues for 10 days, then a week break is taken.
Diet
To strengthen blood vessels, it is necessary not only to use medicines, but also to eat right. The diet should include foods containing a large amount of vitamins and minerals.
Useful products should prevail:
| Products | Description |
| Lean meat (rabbit, turkey, chicken) | Peel and remove the fat from the meat before cooking. Cut back on pork, lamb or duck, especially when fried and with lots of spices |
| Sea and river fish (carp, pollock, perch, salmon, mackerel, salmon) | It is a source of omega-3 acids that are involved in many metabolic processes in the body. You need to cook fish by boiling or baking in the oven. It is worth limiting the use of fried food, especially hot |
| Legumes (peas, lentils, beans) | They strengthen the walls of blood vessels well, and their regular consumption can reduce the amount of cholesterol. |
| Nuts and seeds | They allow you to quickly strengthen the walls of blood vessels and lower the level of bad cholesterol. But since this is a fairly high-calorie food, their amount in the diet must be limited. |
| Vegetables and fruits | The content of vitamins in these products is quite high, therefore, fresh seasonal fruits and boiled or baked vegetables must be present in the diet. |
| Oils (olive, linseed, corn, sunflower) | They contain a large amount of oleic acid, which is involved in metabolic processes and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. It is necessary to reduce the amount of butter used and completely eliminate combined fats from the diet |
| Porridge (oatmeal, buckwheat, rice, wheat) | They contain a large amount of nutrients, so such dishes should be the basis of the diet. At the same time, you need to limit the use of potatoes and pasta. |
If problems with blood vessels appear, it is recommended to revise the diet.
In nutrition, you should adhere to the following rules:
- eat food in small portions up to 5 times a day;
- exclude fried, salty, fatty and spicy foods from the diet; products need to be boiled, stewed or baked;
- limit the amount of smoked meats and pickles;
- do not consume alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
Prevention
In order to prevent fragility of blood vessels, it is necessary:
- eat properly;
- lead a healthy lifestyle;
- get rid of bad habits;
- avoid stressful situations;
- consult a doctor in time to prevent the development of chronic diseases;
- protect hands from the cold.
If bruising on the fingers is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek the advice of a phlebologist or hematologist.
