A member asked:
Can you have one single purura about size if a dime and when you press it the redness goes away?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not purpura: Purpura does not disappear when you press on it. You may have a dilated blood vessel and that would disappear when you press on it.

Purpura?: A vascular (blood ) lesion will blanch under pressure. See a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment if needed.
