The blood from the ruptured capillaries, arteries, veins flows out. Eventually a scab will form. -Black and Blue- You bang your arm into a shelf, the vessels under your skin have ruptured and blood leaks out. But, because your skin is not "broken" the blood remains under the layer of skin revealing a blue-ish discoloration (deoxygenated blood cells). -Internal Bleeding- You get into a car accident and break a rib which punctures your lung.
