[|Human|] my son 2.5 yr old was dtetcted with itp 5 months back.his platelet level had dropped to 5000 .he was admiteed to hospital ,was given platelets and ivig .in last 5 months we have got his platelet level checked 4 times and it has come in range of 180000 and above.but these dark spots keep on coming and going specailly on his legs and sometimes on arms which worries us alot.please advise why do these spots come .is there any reason to worry?
[|AI|]  Hi, The dark spots are minute bleeding under the skin. The bleeding is due to reduced platelet level in the blood. It is common in ITP. It will not cause much problem outside. Bleeding inside the body (brain and other vital organs) is dangerous. Skin bleeding are alarms to suggest about ITP. Without that we may not know the disease, and we may miss treating. Actually, the purpuric dark spots are not ugly, but it is a sign to alert us. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
