A member asked:
Often get petechiae on my right hand. could that be possibly because of lifting my 2 years old couple of times a day? (bloodwork normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Local pressure may cause the finding, but usually there should be no petechiae associated with this activity. Check with a dermatologist and you may upload a photo during a virtual consult with Healthtap.
