Petechiae- very worried.

I am very worried due to me always linking petechiae with leukaemia 

Hello

In January, a small patch of petechiae appeared on my leg nothing more nothing less. I went to the doctors and did a blood test and they said I was fine and it was nothing to worry about. 

It went away however a month ago it appeared again but bigger, I also gave many dots on my feet and legs. 

I am very worried any advice?

    Hello

    I've had similar experiences with petechiae it occurs in the center of my chest most times after itchyness. I had bloods done about a year ago and these came back saying I had an abnormal blood cell (I think it was a white blood cell) however at the time I had had suspected phnemoniea / sepsis which I had an exray which I was told would show if I had these and neither came up i was told I needed to have another blood test about a year ago but I haven't been back yet due to the second blood test being unergent with the covid situation 

     

    During this time after googling my symptoms (I know you shouldn't really) the symptoms matched to those of leukemia however I was to shy to ask if that could be it.

     

    Any advice would be amazing 

    Thank you.
