What Causes Recurring Petechia Spots On Body?

Hi, I have petechia spots that keep appearing on various parts of my body. At first they were really quite bad but have settled down a little. I have been for various tests including lots of blood work which have all come back normal. Do you have any insight into what this could be?

Hi,

You have not mentioned your age. The petechia occurring repeatedly may be related with age. It may be senile purpura. It has no value... so, do not worry. Take vitamin C 500 mg tab twice a day.

Hope this helps.
