Can Petechiae Like Bruising, Fatigue And A Rash All Be Related?
Hello my son is 5 and has had some concerning symptoms over time. He has been bruising very easily in a petichiae like way he also has had increased fatigue and decreased appetite( still eating adeqetley). Just recently he has developed a painful white streak on the inner left cheek. I was wondering if these symptoms could all be related? He has no significant medical history other than pneumonia as a baby,few indoor allergens such as dust, dogs and cats. And he has currently been battling molluskum and eczema on the back of his leg.
