A member asked:
Is a cluster of 5-6 petichiae worth seeing a doctor over? no medicine use, injury, just sorta woke up with it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Unexplained petichiae could mean a clotting problem. Your fatty liver condition could be a factor because the liver makes blood clotting factors. You may want to see a doctor for a physical and some basic blood work.
