Are single reccuring petechiae spots (not clusters) worrisome? i have tiny pink ones - 1 on thigh, 1 on buttock, 1 on lower leg, 2 on chest no bruises

Not worrisome: But for reassurance, ask your doctor on the next visit to check your cbc for platelets count, best wishes

Single reccuring petechiae: HI, for how long, was the fist time, do they go away, do you have periods petechiae free? are you on medications? aspirin, or others? is your skin thin? I have a list for you to entertain yourself. For now I will observe the progress, if they away, and do not come back, you are cured, if more come see a hematologist. Tiny blood vessels (capillaries) link the smallest parts of your arteries to the smallest parts of your veins. Petechiae appear when capillaries bleed, leaking blood into the skin. A number of things can cause this bleeding, including: • Prolonged straining • Certain medical conditions • Specific types of injuries • Medications • Injuries and sunburn Prolonged straining Tiny petechiae of the face, neck and chest can be caused by prolonged straining during activities such as: • Crying • Coughing • Vomiting • Childbirth • Weightlifting Certain medications Petechiae may result from taking some types of medications, including: • Anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin) • Atropine (Atropen) • Carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Epitol, Tegretol, others) • Chloral hydrate (Somnote) • Desipramine (Norpramin) • Indomethacin (Indocin) • Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, (naproxen) Naprosyn) • Nitrofurantoin (Furadantin, Macrobid, Macrodantin) • Penicillin • Quinine (Qualaquin) Infectious diseases Petechiae may be caused by any of a number of fungal, viral and bacterial infections, including: • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection • Endocarditis
