A member asked:

One purpura on arm does it sign of leukemia

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

More info: One spot of purpura----any history of others in the past? Is CBC (blood count) normal? Do you know what caused the one purpuric spot? Are you on any medications-like aspirin or motrin? I hope you will follow with your doctor to investigate this properly. Good luck
