This may be happening because of repeated trauma to your hands and fingers. When we get hit, pressure builds in the veins and small capillary and sometimes it causes them to burst.

There might be a variety of reasons why the blood vessels under your skin on your hands and figures have burst. Perhaps there is something wrong with your circulation to these extremities that is causing swelling of the hands and fingers and are creating pressure. This pressure build up is in turn causing the blood vessels to burst.

Your blood vessels might be under pressure. Make sure your not doing tasks that could easily damage your hands. If the condition worsens, contact a doctor.
