Tricky: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this is a LIFE-THREATENING DISORDER that needs immediate (right now) attention and likely hospital admission. It implies you are not able to keep blood inside you. This often means a blood problem or liver failure. Bad.

Purpura needs exam: Purpura is the name given to bleeding within the skin. There are many causes, harmless and not-so-harmless. Advice is not possible without knowing the cause of your purport; see your doctor for a full clinical examination and advice
