A member asked:
Does developing petechiae from drug reaction on arms and/or legs mean getting brain bleed simultaneously?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: petechiae from drug reaction don't indicate bleeding, can be inflammation of the inner lining of capillaries, and petechiae due to minor bleeds from capillaries in certain area don't indicate brain bleed
