Blood Spots can and usually do go away on their own eventually.
Sometimes the spots from purpura do not go away completely.
Certain medications and activities can make these spots worse.
To reduce your risk of forming new spots or making spots worse, you should avoid medications that reduce platelet count.
Blood spots are also known as Purpura.
The blood spots or purpura occur when small blood vessels burst, causing blood to pool under the skin.
This can create purple spots on the skin that range in size from small dots to large patches.
Purpura spots are generally benign, but may indicate a more serious medical condition, such as a blood clotting disorder.
If you have tiny red, purple, or brown spots on your skin, they could be petechiae.
They're not a disease, but a symptom.
A number of things can cause them to happen, from a severe coughing fit to an infection. Often, petechiae are nothing to worry about.
Purpura can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease.
Examples include bruising from trauma, aging, medication side effects, or drawing of blood.
There are three main causes of purpura: Disorders of platelets, disorders of coagulation and vasculitis.
These are not mutually exclusive, because if platelets and the factors involved in coagulation have been destroyed or incapacitated, coagulation is disrupted.
