Thank you for posting the lab results my daughter has this too. She will be 3 soon we are so scared. Setting up an appointment next week for blood work. Praying we get good news too.
We received my son's lab results. All results were normal including a CBC, CBC smear, platelet aggregation and von Wildebrandt's test. She said that it is possible that his skin is just ultrasensitive to bruising in this way.
Thank you,
We do have an appointment with a hematologist set up in a few weeks. The major concentrations of these spots are in the areas where the hydrocortisone cream was rubbed in, so we are thinking this is most likely the cause, as far as the random ones around other parts of his body, we're just not sure. If anything comes to light after his additional bloodwork, I will post an update.
Thanks!
Hello,
Petechiae are pinpoint-sized red dots under the surface of the skin. They are common after skin trauma and viral infections. They should go away in a few days. But if they persist then please consult a physician and get other causes ruled out which include allergic reaction, autoimmune diseases, thrombocytopenia, ITP or leukemias.
I suggest you to consult a hematologist and get it evaluated.
My sincere advice is to get it examined from a hematologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
