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][c=#BF0080]I hope everything goes well.. It’s better to have them test whatever possible to be safe. ❤️

Do you have low platelets? I’m not sure it’s related, I’m just curious. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 I should have made a post, but I totally forgot. My blood test came back fine. No abnormalities. I just have the spots. I know it's a medication I'm on. Thanks for caring enough to post here. 🤗💙
