View Full Version : Leukaemia - Cuts Under Nails?
Even though I had a blood test for Leukaemia in June/July, I am still getting bruises on my legs regularly. I am now getting cuts under my nails as well. Both my thumb nails have little cuts under, does it sound like Leukaemia?
Thank You .

I quite often get the splinter like cuts under my nails, usually if I've knocked them or something. In fact I get them without even knowing if I've bashed them or not.
Not without laukaemia cells in the blood no.
Hi I get splinter hemorrhages all the time and while they maybe indicative of some medical conditions, they are mainly harmless and I would say at some stages in life everyone will get them.
I have one at the moment but before now I have had loads at the same time.
And they are caused by trauma to the nail bed. And that can be as simple as typing at a computer keyboard.
That is only a answer to part of your question I know but hope it helps a little
If you came up clear in a test a month ago, you are clear. Try to find some reassurance there. I know it is hard, but you are fine.
I knew someone with leukemia, and there was a LOT more going on than bruises, in fact, she didnt have any bruises at all. And she was VERY sick, so you sound absolutely fine to me.
Ok to add to this and the increase in leg bruising, I now have an insane Petechiae rash all over the bottoms of both my legs and my feet. When I went to the Doctor's about this before it was just sporadic Petechiae and the odd bruise or two. I got my Blood Tezt Results back on the 4th July and everything was fine. Would it be possible that I could've developed Leukaemia now? If I had a Blood Test now would it show something because it's worse or not?
Thank You .

Ok well the rash has spread to all over both of my feet today. Seriously considering leaving Holiday early. If I have low Platelets I'm worried about Brain hemarages as well. Would I just literally drop without notice or not?
Your on holiday? Could this not be a reaction to the water over there?
I had a petechie looking rash on my legs and feet when I was last in Spain and it was MAD itchy.
As for the bruising, some people just bruise easily. I do especially on my legs even when I itch them I bruise.
