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?

    Welcome to the forum Hfletcher although I'm sorry to hear about this rash.

    I know this must be worrying but you did the right thing by seeking medical advice. Hopefully you'll get a step closer to some answers in 2 months time, but do be sure to let your GP know if your rash gets worse whilst you're waiting.

    I hope some of the members on this discussion get back to you soon, but if you don't receive a reply, you're welcome to reach out to others on more recent discussions about this or start your own.

    We're thinking of you Hfletcher and have our fingers crossed this is no cause for concern.

    Kind regards,
