The appearance of small purple spots on the legs may be a sign of subcutaneous bleeding, a condition medically known as purpura. Purpura can be associated with various factors, including minor trauma, blood disorders, and vascular inflammation. If these small purple spots appear after minor external force and are few in number, it may be simple purpura caused by fragile capillaries. However, if symptoms are accompanied by joint pain, abdominal pain, or abnormal urine color, it is necessary to consider the possibility of blood disorders, such as thrombocytopenic purpura or allergic purpura.
In some cases, the appearance of small purple spots on the legs may be related to medication use, especially anticoagulants such as warfarin. If these purple spots are accompanied by symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and joint pain, it may indicate an infection or autoimmune disease. The appearance of these symptoms may suggest underlying health problems and requires prompt medical attention for professional diagnosis and treatment.
[Prevention Tips:]
1. Pay attention to changes in your body. If small purple spots appear for no apparent reason, seek medical attention promptly.
2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, and avoid overwork.
3. When using anticoagulants, strictly follow the doctor's instructions and have regular blood tests.
