What Causes Swelling And Broken Blood Vessels On The Palm?
I have had blood vessels popping at the base of my fingers near the palm for no apparent reason. I feel slight to moderate pain and then the area turns purple with very slight swelling. The discomfort last less than 24 hours. This has happened about 3 times in the last 2 months. Should I be concerned or is this just a side effect of being 62

First meet the physician.
The symptoms are suggestive of splinter hemorrhages
