Husband Petechiae

Hi my husband recently started having Petechiae on his legs, so I sent him straight to the doctors. We are waiting for blood his appointment on Tuesday but a text message confirmed there are abnormalities in his blood. So I'm freaking out cause he is never Ill. He is 32 and has bad Verrucous veins which is another issue in its self 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your husband's situation.  I can understand how unsettling this can be waiting to find out the cause of the abnormal bloods and the rash on his legs

    We can't diagnose what is causing the petechiae but hopefully with further blood tests and investigations they will know more.

    There are different causes for this rash so try not to over think what it all means.

    Try also to stay away from the internet which is so general and will not lead to a diagnosis. I hope that you both find out more soon.

    If you feel like you would like to chat to one of the nurses on the helpline then do give us a ring.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best Wishes,

    Catherine
