Does Weather Change Cause Petechiae On The Legs?

I have been having petechiae since last year. I have them on my legs. I have had a cbc drawn up twice with normal blood work. however, Im concerned and cant really put my mind to ease because I wouldn t be having these red dots if something wasn t wrong. Can you have petechiae and be completely healthy?? or is there something else going on that should be investigated more. They do not last for more than two weeks and go away as quickly. This petechiae appears only during cold weather. I m thinking that the weather is the cause of my petechiae on the legs.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic

I do not think the petechia are due to winter change . You have to visit a dermatologist as he will be able to examine you to find the cause of the petechia . I will also suggest that you should undergo lab tests as Hb,TLC, DLC, SGOT, SGPT, URINE, BT, CT, PT, INR.

And please avoid any herbal products if you are taking. If you have any further query then you can come back to HealthcareMagic.
I will definitely help you .
