Question: What kind of allergy is this!?
Every summer my hands get red little dots that appear under the skin and they burn but don't itch and hurt when i close my hand!. Does any body know what is is!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
in can be sunspots or maybe even a small form of eczema!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Petechiae appear as tiny, red, pinpoint, flat spots!. They look as if someone used a fine-tip red ink pen to put little dots on the skin
Petechiae are pinpoint-sized red dots under the surface of the skin!. The dots are red because they contain blood that has leaked from tiny blood vessels (capillaries) into the skin!. Petechiae may be an indication of a serious underlying problem that requires medical evaluation!.
A common cause of petechiae is a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)!. Platelets are blood cells that play an important role in blood clotting!. Causes of a low platelet count include:
Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis
Viral infections, such as mononucleosis and measles (rubella)
Side effect of certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs
Bone marrow disorders, such as leukemia
Infection of your bloodstream (septicemia, or "blood poisoning")
Treatment of petechiae depends on the underlying cause!. If you develop petechiae, see your doctor promptly
