My ITP has been in remission for 13 years. However, I believe I may still have a purpensity for patikia. The only time / area the patikia presents is after I ve spent long hours walking on a hard surface, such as concrete or asphalt. The patikia is always limited to banding around and above bi-lateral ankles. Swelling and itchiness are the first signs that something is wrong. When I lift my pant legs, the bleeding under the skins is quite evident. The condition takes 4-8 days for the body to absorb and resolve. As my platelet count has consistently remained in the 200k-300k range for more than a decade, is this normal? I ve gotten no concern from my internist nor hematologist (focusing only on my bloodwork results). Should I be concerned about possible tissue damage or potential vascular issues? Other than mild hypertension (which is controlled nicely by Losartan), I am otherwise a healthy, active, 49 year old female.
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis. I suggest using Cetirizine. I also suggest using HY Chat Doctor.  If the petechial do not get better, I suggest consulting your doctor about prescription steroids.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
