broken blood vessels in finger

Is there anything I can do for a broken blood vessel in finger?

Hello,
It is not very clear from your post, the symptoms that you are having but what I have understood is the bruises appearing on fingers without any trauma. Anemia and deficiency of vitamins C, K, B12, or folic acid are the common causes. Try taking iron tablets and multivitamins for some days and see if the symptoms improve.

If the symptoms do not improve, get yourself evaluated by a physician and look out for SLE, bone marrow disorders, liver diseases or leukemias. Anti-clotting (anti-coagulants) medication also can cause increased bruising. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
