If you have ever experienced any of these symptoms together with rashes then you have had petechial rash. Petechial rashes are due to so many factors; it may be due to trauma on the area, blood clotting disorders, infections and other illnesses.
Here are some important things to remember if you develop petechial rashes for any reason at all:
Seek medical help at once. Any petechial rash out of no reason at all or if you have never experienced trauma on the area is a cause for alarm. Your doctor will assess your condition with a complete physical exam, medical history and diagnostic exams. Once a diagnosis has been made, you will be given appropriate treatments for your petechial rash.
Avoid tiring yourself and overstraining yourself once you have petechial rash. You will only worsen your condition if you strain or tire yourself out. Patients with petechiae are often advised to rest since this will help heal damaged tissues and support the immune system.
Heat will further aggravate your situation; apply cold compress on the affected area. With a cold towel or an ice pack, make sure that you apply cold for 15 to 30 minutes; this will have to be done round the clock for a day. This will temporarily prevent your petechiae from worsening. If you can, stay in a cold room or air conditioned room to apply cold all over the affected area especially when the area affected is an entire leg or arm.
In worst case scenarios, petechiae develop into large purpura rashes. Blood vessels will become occluded, damaged and scarred which will limit movement of blood to a tissue or organ. This result in terrible complications like weakness and symptoms that are specific to the organ affected. It is important to secure treatment right away to prevent serious complications like these from happening.
Finally, there are medications that can lead to reduced levels of platelets. It is necessary to discontinue these medications before you start any treatment. Your doctor will advise drugs that will help blood clotting; make sure that you take your medications regularly and to come back for evaluation of your treatment. Your doctor will order blood tests to determine the effectiveness of your treatments.
