Should A Blood Test Be Done For Small Bruises All Over The Body?
Hi, Ive been experiencing random small bruises appearing all over my body for no reason that appear overnight and don t hurt but take a while to go away. they are about the size of a quarter each. how concerned should i be about this? will i need blood work done?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes. You should undergo blood tests such as complete blood count, platelet count etc. Because those small bruises may be petechia which occur in blood abnormality disorders. Please do visit your physician and explain about the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
