Rash like tiny blood blisters

[sayerville]

Almost like pinpricks, I have had this for years on and off, it's mainly on my body thighs and tops of arms. A doctor once just asked me is this normal for you?
I have had full blood counts done for other things an nothing turned up.
I just wondered if anyone else has this?

Me and DD get this. It’s called petechiae . I had a huge patch on my thigh once and went to the doctor when it seemed to keep bleeding through every day and she looked horrified. Sent me for a blood test straight away and everything came back normal. Sometimes it’s caused by some knock or pressure from clothes/bags but other times it seems to appear for no reason.

I would see your GP as it can be a symptom of a few illnesses or caused by some medications but I think I just have naturally weak veins, if that’s possible. I often have a bruise that stays for a whole year or keeps bleeding every now and then months on from the injury. It’s weird and quite disconcerting but I presume the blood test I had would have shown up anything untoward.

Yeah I have seen this before but sometimes the photos don't look exactly like mine, it's a worrying thing almost like a meningitis rash where it doesn't disappear.
I've had it so long now though
