Hello it's me again..
I'm not in full blown panic mode right but I'm wondering if anyone can help me rationalise / offer advice on a few things.
This is not something I would have worried about before HA but oh well! I have what I think are spots of petechiae on my upper body. They're a light reddish colour (definitely not purple) but under the skin. I get these a lot on my shoulders (sometimes in lines, sometimes more just random dots) when I wear tight clothes or carry heavy bags, or scratch myself really hard (I'm not very gentle on myself!) I never really thought much about it but I've noticed a few single dots on my boobs recently. I don't want to panic too much because I've googled petechiae and my spots are so sparse compared to the google image search but it just seems a bit random. Could these be due to my bra rubbing my skin maybe? I'm also really bad at picking the tiny hair follicles on my boobs (I'm sorry that really is TMI) they fade away I think, more sometimes appear but the spots themselves aren't permanent.
I think what I'm trying to say is this something I need to get checked out? Or be worried about even? I've always had quite sensitive skin really. I get a few bruises too but I'm clumsy and I can usually recall where they're from.
I'm 26 and get the Morgan de Campbell spots too (does anyone else get these at my age?! I've heard they're an 'ageing skin' thing!) I have loads on my upper arms.
I'm sorry I'm updating my own post but just found this rather angry looking patch from underneath my bra on my shoulder (see pic) Would this still be normal? I was leaning on the sofa arm for a few hours last night and my bra seems to have left the scariest looking rash! I'm getting a little scared to be honest..!
