Hey guys, I seem to be posting on here all the time but I swear it's a new thing every single week.
So, I've been noticing these tiny red spots (petechia) on my arm for about a year. When I first saw them I called the ambulance because 111 thought I had meningitis but they weren't concerned with them at all. But they've never faded and I seem to get new ones every now and then and because of everything that's happened these past few years health wise, I'm worrying about it.
I'm 20 and every where I look it says older people develop petechia more so that makes me panic more. And people that have had petechia say that they fade away but mine haven't and some have started developing on my legs. I have been trying to get an appointment at doctors for other reasons but I just can't get one. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this at a younger age or someone anyone knows, because all I do now is panic.
I wasn't really concerned about them until someone mentioned that they could be something serious, and I check my body everyday for more. That's why it's been about a year maybe longer.
If anyone replies, thanks for your reply. It's hard when no one your age experiences these so you feel alone a lot of the time and family think I'm being too anxious because nothing bad has happened to me yet, so they can't be anything serious. So I really just need some advice or support.
Thank you
Abbie
