I have petechiae

Preteciae occurs when the blood vessels come up to the skin and the vessels bleed under the skin. My arms are the worst affected. But, I have it all over my body. My doctor did a blood test today. She wants what's called a purple smear test. I am very scared because there are so many things this could be. If things turn out abnormal, she is going to send me to a hematologist. Thanks for reading. Just had to get this off my chest.

I'm so sorry to hear you have a health issue going on. We always think the worse then find out we worried over nothing. Same happened to my hub recently and we're waiting to hear about a bizarre health concern he had. I know it's scary and you are worried. Try not to. You're going to be fine, especially with today's modern medicine.🤗

Thank you sweetheart🌹@Indy74 Hes okay. I refuse to think otherwise. Lol Hes sooo done with doctors and the waiting. You know, when you have symptoms, there are a million things it could be. We all freak out and think cancer. My hub told me the whole time he felt fine. So I should have listened to him. You should too. You'll be FINE! ☺️😉🤗
