What causes purple skin

Most people whose skin turns purple easily have thin skin, and most of them are girls with fair and tender skin. Purple skin may be caused by easy injury under the skin, resulting in bleeding. It is also possible that the blood vessels under the skin are visible because the skin is too white, causing the skin surface to appear purple. Next, let’s take a closer look at what causes purple skin.

First: Girls who are prone to bruising usually have fair and thin skin. Some light touches will cause bruising. If you know exactly where the bruise occurred, it is not a problem because it is caused by trauma. However, unexplained bruises are not good. If they occur occasionally, it is okay, but you need to pay attention to observation. If they happen frequently, a routine blood test is recommended.

Second: Blue skin can also be caused by blood stasis under the skin. Blood stasis is mostly caused by external force, which causes subcutaneous capillaries to rupture and bleed. Because blood seeps into the subcutaneous tissue from ruptured capillaries. So we can see a bruise on the intact skin. At this time, the blood that has seeped into the subcutaneous tissue is considered a foreign body, and there are abundant nerves under the skin. So the pain is obvious.

24 hours after the bruise occurs, you can apply warm compress to the affected area. To promote local blood circulation and promote the dissipation of blood stasis. Generally, the body will slowly absorb the subcutaneous blood clots, which takes about two weeks.

Third: Cyanosis is caused by subcutaneous bleeding. The skin around the human eyes is thin and loose, so it is easy for bleeding to accumulate, resulting in cyanosis. A bruise may initially appear blue or purplish-black and then fade to brown, green, or yellow.

Note:

If you accidentally bump into something or sprain your ankle during exercise, the injured area will suddenly become red and swollen, and soon shocking black and white areas will appear. If you want to use hot compress or local massage to relieve swelling immediately after an acute injury, this is wrong.
