Bruising or ecchymosis is caused by burst capillaries beneath the skin’s surface, resulting in trapped blood and discoloration. While it can happen to anyone at any age, older adults are more likely to develop bruises. Sometimes unexplained, random bruising is due to serious conditions that require diagnosis.
