They did bloodwork and found nada.<br /> Not super comforting because I hate mystery illness/rash/whatever, but just to let you know that I guess it can happen without being serious.<br /> Good luck today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1900030 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 07:41:44 +0000 singingbee 1900030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: thanks. We ended up going to the ER last night. We will make an appt with her ped today. I think it's viral since some of the spots have faded, but some are still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1899657 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:14:30 +0000 autumnlove 1899657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: I noticed the first bruise on Friday and I didn't think much of it. The petechiae and more bruises popped up over the weekend. We made an appointment on Monday and the Dr ordered a blood test that led to hospitalization due to low platelets. She never had a fever. Hope your LO is ok!!!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1899648 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:00:31 +0000 singingbee 1899648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: reviving this thread. LO had petechiae which I just noticed tonight. She has some bruises, but she has been walking etc. the nurse said to watch and see if more bruises come up, things change like a fever, etc. just wondering how soon after you saw the dots to when you found out it WANs something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1461001 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 00:41:19 +0000 autumnlove 1461001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: :-( Some of my LO's bruises looked dark like this but the others looked like regular toddler bruises.</p> <p>Hope she is ok! </p> [attach=1791/14/n1snsv.600x417.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1460163 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:36:00 +0000 lizzywiz 1460163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is exactly what it looks like on her face. She doesn't have bruising except on her legs- I just assumed she is more active and running into things.<br /> Were your Lo's bruises really dark or no? Mine look like normal bruises...<br /> But either way, maybe worth a trip to the doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1459219 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:12:06 +0000 autumnlove 1459219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope she is ok...thinking of you and your LO. </p> <p>My LO had it once when she also had heavy bruising. She had ITP and was hospitalized. This is what some of it looked like. </p> [attach=1791/14/n1qe14.600x526.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frequent-petechiae-on-face#post-1459184 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 18:55:30 +0000 lizzywiz 1459184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now it is ALL over her face, tiny little spots. We always just assumed she has fair skin, she is an enthusiastic crier, so there it is.<br /> But...seems to be happening more,...mama panic power, go!</p> <p>Anybody experience this? </p>
