Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi !! I have gone through your history and would like to review your pictures. Appearance of petechia is a rare side effect of oral terbinafine and cannot be caused by topical application. You should undergo platelet count to rule out thrombocytopenia that is low platelets in blood which can be a cause of petechia.
