A member asked:
I have petechiae. it's a cluster of dark blue purplish dots in one section of my leg? what are the causes? do i have leukaemia? i'm 19 yrs old

Petechial rash: loxalized petechial rash on your leg doesn't mean you have leukemia. The most common reason of petechial rash is local trauma. Leukemia has more symptoms like fever, fatigue, weight loss, pale, vomIting, etc
