Yes, I have a password. Remember me. Below, we describe what purpura and petechiae are and the key differences between them. Next, we explore their causes and treatments, and when to contact a doctor. Purpura and petechiae can both appear in rash-like clusters. An unexplained rash may require treatment, and any child with an unexplained rash and a fever should receive urgent medical attention.
Purpura are red, pink, or purple patches just under the skin. They are larger than 2 millimeters mm. They can also develop under the mucous membranes, such as those in the mouth or nose. Purpura form when tiny blood vessels called capillaries burst and leak, causing blood to pool beneath the skin. They are also known as blood spots or skin hemorrhages.
Though they are usually flat, they can be slightly raised. In most cases, purpura develop in rash-like clusters on a single area of skin, which may be large. Generally, the larger the affected area, the more severe the underlying bleeding. A purpura cluster is not generally irritating or itchy. The spots are also non-blanching, meaning that they do not fade or change color under pressure. As purpura heal and the body breaks down and absorbs the pooled blood, the patches change color.
These changes vary — a spot may turn from reddish-purple to brown, orange, blue, or green. Petechiae are red, pink, or purple patches just under the skin. They are smaller than 2 mm and usually flat. Generally, petechiae are smaller versions of purpura, and they, too, are sometimes called blood spots. They form when capillaries break and leak blood that pools beneath the skin. They may also prescribe antibiotics or corticosteroids to treat the root cause of the problem. The red circles that appear under your eyes after vomiting are petechiae.
They are caused by broken blood vessels that cause minor bleeding under the skin. The blood vessels burst because of the strain of vomiting. This condition is more likely to arise when vomiting is intense. Vomiting-induced petechiae tend to clear up on their own. Red dots tend to develop under your eyes after drinking alcohol because of how alcohol affects the body.
The alcohol also enters your bloodstream and travels into your eyes, putting a strain on the small blood vessels or capillaries in your face. Petechiae also form if you vomit after drinking, just as they can when you vomit for any other reason.
Drinking alcohol also affects the nutrient balance in your body. Yes, most of the time petechiae go away on their own. You can speed things along by applying cold compresses to the affected area for about 15 minutes at a time every few hours. If red dots are caused by skin conditions or an allergic reaction, you might need to see a dermatologist for treatment. Indirectly, yes, stress can cause petechiae to form under the eyes. This is because so many people cry when they feel stressed.
The harder you cry and the puffier your eyes get from crying, the more likely red dots are to form. Elevated blood pressure, which is a symptom of stress, also causes red spots. People with vitamin B12 deficiencies tend to have a higher risk of petechiae forming.
If you believe a vitamin deficiency could be the cause of red spots, seek medical advice and discuss possible supplements or treatment options with your doctor.

Updated on October 27, Red Dots Around Eyes Petechiae. It does so by taking away some of your platelets, which are found in your blood. This disease can lead to petechiae and purpura because platelets usually work to plug up any small tears in your blood vessels. When you don't have enough platelets, your blood can't repair vessels properly, leading to bleeding underneath the skin.
That can cause small red spots, petechiae, or larger blood spots, called purpura. Part 2. Visit the doctor. If you are a healthy person experiencing new onset petechiae for no reason you haven't been vomiting, straining, or doing something else that would easily explain the condition , you should see a doctor about it. Though petechiae usually go away on their own if you don't have another disease, it's best to find out if they have an underlying cause.
Treat the underlying disease. If you have an infection or disease that causes your petechiae, the best way to treat the petechiae is to try to cure the disease. Your doctor can help you decide what medication is best for your disease.
Protect yourself if you're older. In older people who's blood clotting system is naturally less effective, even minor trauma can cause significant petechiae. One way to prevent petechia if you're older is to try to avoid trauma. Of course, sometimes you can't avoid an injury, but do not take unnecessary risks. For instance, if you have trouble balancing properly, consider using a cane or walker.
Try a cold compress. This may cause petechiae due to trauma, injury, or straining to disappear, but it will not treat any underlying conditions which cause petechiae.
Cold can help cut down on inflammation and can help reduce future petechiae, as well. Do not put an ice pack directly on your skin, as it can cause damage to your skin.
You can also just use cool water on a washcloth held up to the area. Wait for petechiae to heal. The main way to get rid of petechiae is to wait for them to heal on their own. Once you treat the underlying cause, the petechiae should fade away.
