Should I take DS to GP? Petechiae- I think

[bakingbee]

DS (10) developed this small patch of what I've concluded is Petechiae. Yesterday he woke up complaining of knee pain that he described as 'feels like my knee will give under me'. I popped some tiger balm on it and sent him on his way to school.
Last night when he got changed I noticed the Petechiae.
This morning it remains much the same

I would make a GP appointment for him.

Thanks for replying! Ok will make an appointment ! DH and I have very high threshold when it comes to these type of things. He has no other symptoms and it hasn't spread so assume it's nothing sinister.

Hopefully it is nothing but it's one of those rashes that could be something. Better to play it safe I think.

Yes I would agree gp appointment needed. Has he had an injury to that area, such as heavy school bag straps etc (can't tell from pic how close to his shoulder the rash is)

He wasn't even aware of it so no injury or itching. Few spots came the other side of his back this morning but not a big clump like this one.

I sometimes get petechiae on my lower arms from carrying heavy shopping bags, they don't itch and I wouldn't know I had them if I wasn't looking at them because they aren't painful, so could be totally innocent but I would definitely have a gp look at him. Are you able to get an appointment?

Bi would make a gp appointment to rule out anything serious.

Yes. You need to see a GP.
I hope everything is ok

Couldn't get an appointment but I can take him to the urgent care centre over the weekend. He seems totally fine but I'm monitoring the Petechiae and noticing bruises on his back and hips too, so may well be just play injuries.
Thank you all for input

He has a few more on another area on his back but far less than the cluster

Is it where his school back pack rubs?

Dh gets that when he's been carrying a back pack (especially a heavy one) where the straps go, and if there's something poking in at the back too.
