A member asked:
I have itp and i'm starting to get scaling skin on my chest what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: ITP (immune thrombocytopenia) is probably not related to your scaling skin on chest. You may have dry skin or other skin conditions. If moisturizing does not help or more scaling skin or associated with rashes, please see dermatologist for an evaluation.
