A member asked:
What are the reasons of petechiae. my younger sister (14) has them but she's not on any medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If these are truly actual petechiae, especially affecting the bilateral lower extremities, it would be prudent to obtain a complete blood count to exclude low platelets (THROMBOCYTOPENIA).
