Blood Vessels

[Amanda]

I think I may have a popped blood vessel but I can't seem to find any information online about it. Could someone tell me what exactly it looks like (pictures?) or find some information for me? I'm not lazy, I just can't find anything.

I don't think it's anything to worry about if it isn't too big then it'll heal by itself. But you may want to get it looked at, though if it's kinda big...

Aren't bruises just popped blood vessels?

[Todd]

Um, go to a doctor?

i haven't heard of blood vessels just bursting all of a sudden.

They'll actually bubble out and pop sometimes...aneurysms don't always have to happen in the brain. My uncle has really bad circulation in his legs and he's had to have a couple surgeries to redo arteries that were bubbling out.

Unless it's causing major discomfort or looks to be really large, I'd just leave it alone for a couple days and if it doesn't get any better, go to the doctor.

I wasn't looking to have someone to tell me to go to a doctor. I just wanted to know if it was that or not. I'm not into going to the doctors for little things but thanks everyone else.

You didn't exactly describe the problem, but...

Bruising is basically a 'popped' blood vessel that causes bleeding under the skin. Sometimes it can be major and stick out a bit, hurt like hell, and look worse than a bruise, but it shouldn't be something you worry too much about. If it doesn't go away after a few days, seek medical attention.
