Suggest Treatment For Pitikia In A 12 Year Old
I had AML at age 12. At age 5 my son had a bad fall and noticed red spots that looked like pitikia. Knowing my history i had my son check out by the doctor and followed with blood work. My son is now 13 yrs old and have noticed the pitikia on his body from time to time. Should i be cncerned about this?

Hello,
As per your disease history, development of tiny red spots on skin (petechiae) of your child warrants detailed clinical evaluation by a pediatrician with blood investigations like CBC, peripheral smear examination, immunohistochemistry, etc. Consult pediatrician and ask for these tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
