Hematologist-Oncologist Questions Veins

What makes multiple veins burst?

I'm a 30 year old woman with sensitive skin. I've had several vein bursts in my life, but since 3 months ago, I've had at least three. Why does this keep happening?

It is not clear what you mean by veins bursting. If you are talking about bleeding under the skin, this happens when people with sensitive capillaries (very small blood vessels) bump up against something. It usually happens in people older than 50 but at whatever age it is not a sign of disease. If you are talking about bleeding where you can see blood exiting from the skin, you should consult your general practitioner or internist about this.
