Thanks for your reply. I do not have any bleedgin gums, black stools etc.
My marks have faded quite a bit today which is great. The only other symptom that persists is fatigue. Despite getting almost 10 hours of sleep, I'm still feeling tired. Would it be anemia (what other symptoms would there be?) I'm sure I'm getting enough thyroid hormone supplement as well.
Or perhaps it's a virus infection that hasn't cleared up?
Thanks
Hi.
The radiation that you received for your thyroid condition is unlikely to have caused any of these symptoms.
From what you have described, it is more likely that these petechial lesions came from the insect bite, since the insect saliva have natural anti-coagulants and can disrupt the integrity of small blood vessels.
I would agree with a watch and wait approach for now, but be sure to inform your doctor anything that you may experience (bleeding gums, black stools, etc.)
Regards.
