A member asked:
What are some causes of petechiae on different parts of the body? (been getting them for 3 years on boobs but today i got it on one leg)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most commonly: is platelet dysfunction or low platelet levels.... also seen with anticoagulant therapy... Try VITAMIN C ( which strengthens the tiny vessels) but have this situation checked out (Platelet Count) if this has not been dome already! Hope this is helpful! DrZ
