Hi My daughter had ITP last yearin August.She is 19 now and didn t show any symptoms again.Also her Platelet continuously went up to 190 2 months ago and Doctors said she has shown improvement on her own which is good.She was not given any steroids.Only today we found tiny light marks on her thighs which are not very visible and only in a smaller area.Her Platelets are still190+ I am bit worried why these marks show up again after so many months.Could anyone guide me on this
Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns. Is she having any other infection like sore throat etc. In ITP there are exacerbations and remissions? The spots which you're talking about may be a petechial but again it needs to be examined by the doctor for definitive diagnosis. What assuring is, her platelets counts which are still greater< 190 k>.  I don't think it is due to ITP, is there any active bleeding from elsewhere in body?kindly do examine her frequently. If u think spots are increasing or there is some active bleeding then consult your doctor. Meanwhile stay calm may she gets well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.
