A member asked:
I have petechiae on my left arm, and its coming up on right arm what is it?

Consider platelet: Problem. This is unusual in a 29 year old and the fact that it is starting up as a new problem is a bit concerning. There are a number of causes but consider a platelet issue. Start with a visit to your primary care physician.
