A member asked:
If you have petechia rash does it it spread quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: A petechial rash (caused by low platelets) can appear on any part of the body. It can stay localized, or appear on other parts of the body. It does not really "spread" like a rash caused by an infectious agent.
