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?

  • Thanks I've got bloods booked in next week, last year when I had bloods I had low folate deficiency I wondering if I have that again has I'm always tired too.

  • Had bloods done said my full blood count slightly out of range but no further action? X

  • 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.

  • Currently my symptoms (I forgot to add sorry) are shakiness chest pain and flushed cheeks

  • Hello, I was wondering if you new how long roughly it takes for it to fade ? 
    I've had this on my left breast. I think it's from me sratching too hard, but it's been there for 4 weeks now. It's very small but is this normal or should it have disappeared by now ? 
    thank you. 

  • [@Bulldog2020]‍ did you get anywhere with this? I also have slightly higher than normal red blood cells and getting like little round splatters of blood spots on my legs. Dr did blood tests and said all though they are out of range mine usually are and they aren't worried but I am freaking out as I keep getting these tiny red blood spots!

  • Hi

    i am exactly the same. Very itchy skin, blood spots and brown spots all over my body. Mostly occurs at night. I'm really panicking now. Been going on for about 8myhs.

     

    Any advice?

    Last week I noticed a few red small spots on my arms, I went to the doctor and now I'm waiting on the results of the blood test. They are not itchy and there's more of them now. I'm *** it to be honest 

  • I have these on my arms, noticed last year and thought was sun damage. Now have them on chest and tummy- loads and tiny, dotted at intervals and some clustered. Am 52, and have a lymph node in neck that dr isn't interested in, had a blood test which was ok about 18 months ago. Think will go back, as am worried because they have spread. I feel ok I'm myself- this is the only forum can see about petechae

  • I'm 34. My blood test are fine and the dermatologist said I'm fine. I should only repeat a cbc if I get certain symptoms. But she isn't worried. Anyway now my arms are covered in these spots even though you can see them only if you look for them. She couldn't give me an answer on why they have suddenly popped up.
