Petechiae are reddish-brown spots that can appear on your skin without warning. They develop because of small blood vessels that are ruptured, causing bleeding under the skin.

Petechiae in and of themselves are not harmful. However, they frequently indicate a serious underlying medical condition.

Usually, these tiny red spots on the skin (arms, legs, chest, face, or other areas of the body) are not always itchy, flat, and they don’t lose color when touched.

Signs and Symptoms of Petechiae – Tiny Red Spots on Skin

  • A collection of clotted blood under the skin (hematoma).
  • Excessive bleeding from the gums.
  • Easy bruising or bleeding.
  • Joint hemorrhage (hemarthrosis).
  • Unexplained nosebleeds.
  • Heavy bleeding during menstrual periods (menorrhagia).

Causes :

The following are some of the potential causes associated with petechiae.

1. Thrombocytopenia

Petechiae that appear on the lower legs are often a symptom of thrombocytopenia.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormal low platelet levels.

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are colorless blood cells that help with blood clotting.

Thrombocytopenia may be a side effect from taking certain allopathic drugs, most common are :

Drug Type Examples
Sedatives Chloral hydrate
Blood thinners Warfarin, heparin
Antibiotics Nitrofurantoin, penicillin
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Indomethacin (“Indocin”), Naproxen (“Aleve,” “Anaprox,” “Naprosyn”)
Antidepressants Desipramine (“Norpramin”)
Anti-seizure drugs Carbamazepine (“Carbatrol,” “Epitol,” “Tegretol”)
Heart rhythm drugs Atropine (Atropen)

Sometimes they occur as a result of an immune system disorder and/or leukemia.

2. Prolonged Straining

Petechiae that appear on the chest, neck, and face are often caused by excessive straining, such as during childbirth, or from heavy lifting /weightlifting.

They may also happen as a result of choking, consistent vomiting, violent coughing, and prolonged crying.

3. Certain Allopathic Drugs

Tiny red spots on the skin can also be caused by reactions to certain allopathic drugs for example cortisone, aspirin, atropine, carbamazepine, chloral hydrate, desipramine, indomethacin, naproxen, penicillin, nitrofurantoin, quinine, cimetidine, chlorothiazide, phenytoin, rifampin, linezolid, or anticoagulants such as warfarin or heparin etc.

4. Injuries or Sunburns

There are also certain injuries or traumas that may influence the development of petechiae in the eyes and face. For example, smothering or strangulation can lead to petechiae.

Other possible trauma causes include spanking, biting, or being crushed in an accident, sometimes one can find petechiae with severe sunburns.

5. SepsisSepsis - Petechiae - Tiny Red Spots on Skin - causes - diagnosis - Treatment - Homeopathic - Dr - Qaisar - Ahmed - Dixe - Cosmetics

Petechiae can occur from severe sepsis due to a low platelet count. Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition from an infection. It occurs when chemicals are released into the bloodstream to fight an infection, which triggers inflammation throughout the body. Sepsis may lead to septic shock and a dramatic drop in blood pressure, which may result in death.

6. Allergic Reactions

Petechiae can also be a symptom of an allergic reaction such as allergic purpura. Purpura is a hemorrhagic disease where internal bleeding under the skin can lead to petechiae and spontaneous bruising.

7. Autoimmune Diseases

Certain autoimmune diseases are linked with petechiae, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune reaction where white blood cells attack the cartilage in joints.  As a result, inflammation, rashes, or petechiae may occur at the affected areas.

Petechiae may also accompany both systemic lupus erythematosus and discoid lupus erythematosus, and will often result from thrombocytopenia, which is common in lupus patients.

8. Malnutrition

A common cause of petechiae. These tiny red spots on skin may accompany nutritional deficiencies of vitamin C, vitamin K, and B vitamins like B9, folate, and B12.

9. Strep Throat

Strep throat is a bacterial throat infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. In the case of strep throat, tiny red spots are found at the back of the roof of the mouth.

Other symptoms associated with strep throat include a dry or swollen throat, swollen lymph nodes on the neck, and throat pain from breathing, talking, or swallowing.

10. Scarlet Fever

Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection that may develop in those with strep throat.

Tiny red spots accompany scarlet fever, which features a bright red rash that spreads around the body. The rash will feel like sandpaper and look like a sunburn.

Other symptoms of scarlet fever include a high fever, sore throat, flushed face, and a strawberry tongue.

11. Scurvy

Scurvy is a disease that is brought about by a lack of vitamin C in the body. Scurvy brings on such symptoms as fatigue, swollen gums, weakness, and joint pain.

Other potential causes of petechiae include infectious diseases like endocarditis, cytomegalovirus infection, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, mononucleosis, and meningococcemia, vasculitis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Von Willebrand disease, radiation and chemotherapy, and viral infections that impair blood clotting.

Could Tiny Red Spots on Skin – Petechiae Be a Sign of Leukemia?

When there are tiny red spots on the skin, leukemia may be the cause. Until leukemia is revealed on a routine blood test, it’s quite common for someone to have it and not know it.

Leukemia is a common cancer of the bone marrow and blood. People who suffer from leukemia have damaged white blood cells that interfere with healthy cells.

Other symptoms common with leukemia include easy bleeding or bruising, unexpected weight loss, excessive fatigue, flu symptoms, recurrent nosebleeds, fever or chills, bleeding gums, frequent infections, and bone pain.
