Hi everyone,
I'm currently scared that I have leukemia.
For those who don't know me, I'm 21 years old and I'm a male.
My symptoms are:
Petechiae (burst blood vessels under the skin) when scratching hard. I've noticed this for years but now I feel like I'm seeing it more often.
I have a really weird 2.5cm-ish purple mark on my inner groin that I just noticed about 20 minutes ago. Here's a non-graphic photo of it. (https://imgur.com/a/WWPGuDM) It's sort of concave, like maybe I scratched that region and left an impression. I could be wrong about scratching it. But either way, why is it that color?
Itchy patch on chest. My chest was really itchy last night and I ended up scratching it red-raw, causing petechiae. It doesn't really itch now, it's just sore.
I noticed a very fine crack on the surface of one of my teeth, which is weird because I brush etc.
My nose bled a little this morning. I was scratching inside of my left nostril and then it started bleeding slightly. Easy bleeding is a sign of leukemia.
I know people with leukemia are generally very ill, but I can't help worrying. A family friend died of it quite recently so it's on my mind a lot.
Thanks for reading.
