Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Purpura is a type of bruising that occurs in persons with fragile skin due to easy bleeding and rupture of blood vessels under the skin. Ecchymosis, while also a type of bruise, can occur due to trauma or injury and is not necessarily related to fragile skin. Abrasion is a type of injury to the skin caused by rubbing against a rough surface, and petechiae are small red or purple spots on the skin caused by bleeding under the skin.
