It went away however a month ago it appeared again but bigger, I also gave many dots on my feet and legs. My wife has the same issue. For those who don't know, petechiae are dots of blood which appear under the skin; they often appear with purpura, which are larger areas or patches of blood under the skin, rather like a bruise.
They appear suddenly, then fade over time. Usually, the dot or patch is well beneath the surface of the skin, but just occasionally it might bleed. The dots and patches can appear anywhere. My wife has had a couple of blood tests but everything seems ok. It just appears to be something that has started as she's got older. It was startling at first, but our GP has reassured us that there's nothing wrong.
As a general rule, we advise people not to search for their symptoms on Google. The problem is that if you follow any chain of symptoms far enough, you will always reach cancer or some other dire condition. I think since your patches have reappeared you should revisit the doctor, who may want to repeat the blood work. I should remind you that I'm not a doctor. However, I think if your bloods are ok then Leukaemia is very unlikely.
Thank you for answering. I really appreciate it. I will remain calm and keep in touch with the doctors. I also get these a lot and have done for a few months. I have been getting the dots aswell as bad bruising for a few months and had 2 blood tests that came back fine.. I get this tiny red dots and really wish I didn't because they constantly worry me, I've been to the doctors twice and he didn't really know what they were or what caused them, he did my bloods which came back normal so said not to worry but I get sooo many of them!
They just started on one arm and within 3 years I get them on both arms, back, tummy, legs, they don't seem to go either maybe fade a little but that's it, does anyone else think this isn't normal? Mine turned out to be low folic acid after 6 blood tests starting from mid April this year They said that and another couple vitamins can make you more prone to bruising if you get low That's exqctly what mine was like and kept getting it more and more and then got big black bruises with dots in for no reason haha.
Did you get any answers back regarding this? This is happening to me had my bloods done 6 month ago that come back fine but since then got more and more. Got another blood test 20th of Jan anxiety is going wild. I was taking citalopram. When to see a doctor. Serious conditions.
