A member asked:
Petechiae after scratching. noticed 2-3 weeks ago that my skin was itchy & after scratching petechiae appeared. normal blood tests. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely petechiae: Those are unlikely to be petechiae. Petechiae are typically not brought on by itching or other trauma, They occur spontaneously and are an indicator of a very low platelet count. When you say "normal blood tests", what blood tests exactly? a CBC ?
