Hey! So basically i have realised that when i get bitten by a bug or something or have a heat spot and I itch and itch and itch it especially where my stretch marks are for example on my thighs (inside) and insides of my arms mear my arm pit I get red and purple pin prick dots that look like a bruise (petechiae). I am really worried as to why, it only happens on the areas where my skin seems more thin and only when I itch it really hard and alot. Could the petechaie just be from minor trauma from scratching or do i need to worry about things like Luekemia? Im probably being silly but I am such a worrier and yes of course I googled and Luekemia came up so of course now Ive made my HA worse! Please help any reassurance is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi! it sounds like just the skin becoming damaged from scratching. Talk to your GP about it but if it only happens after scratching I wouldn't really worry about it :)
