How Can Petechiae In The Arms Be Treated?
My 8 year old son who is going to Summer camp has just come up with petechiae in the inner arm (both arms) and I am concerned that it might be something more than just a sport activity he might have done today. He is healthy and not taking any medication at the time. He is feeling well….My question is, is there any condition associated with petechiae in the inner arms?

Hi there,
thanks for your post.
You can do some simple tests like BT, CT, and APTT in a nearby laboratory for your son to ruleout any haemorrhagic diathesis.
Take care.
Hope this helps you.
