A member asked:
I have a patch of petechia that has been increasing in size over the past few months. on my upper right arm. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Petechiae do not last months. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
