The small blood vessels connecting the veins and arteries are called capillaries. Some of the capillaries are actually visible on the surface of the skin. When a capillary is broken, it results to the appearance of a thin, red or blue thread that becomes visible on the skin. This usually happens on areas such as the legs and the face, especially in locations where the skin is thinner or capillaries are closer to the surface of the skin.
