What's wrong with the purple spots on the child's body?

Many parents will find that their children have blue and purple spots on their bodies. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be caused by skin diseases such as purpura, it may be caused by blood stasis under the surface of the skin, or it may be caused by problems with the immune system. The following is a detailed introduction to what is going on with the blue and purple spots on children's bodies.

It may be caused by purpura. If purpura occurs, you should first check the blood routine to see if the platelets are normal. If the platelets are reduced, it is likely caused by thrombocytopenic purpura. In addition to thrombocytopenia, increased capillary fragility and ascorbic acid deficiency can also cause purpura. If the capillary fragility increases, you should take precautions at ordinary times, try not to knock it, take some drugs to increase the density of capillaries under the guidance of a doctor, and supplement calcium and vitamin C. Ascorbic acid deficiency is also vitamin C deficiency, which is caused by a lack of vitamin C. Not only the skin is prone to purpura, but also the gums and mucous membranes are prone to bleeding. The treatment is mainly to supplement vitamin C. Some young women are also prone to purpura on their skin before menstruation due to endocrine changes. This is physiological, not pathological, so don't worry. It is recommended to check the four coagulation items.

It may also be due to a lack of vitamins in the body, especially vitamin K. Vitamin K can catalyze the synthesis of prothrombin in the liver and regulate the synthesis of coagulation factors VII, IX, and X in the liver. Vitamin K plays an important role in the phosphorylation of glucose in cells. A vitamin K-dependent carboxylase system has been found in liver microsomes. A similar carboxylase system also exists in the kidneys and bones. This enzyme system may also exist in the placenta and spleen. This is mainly because vitamin K can synthesize proteins that synthesize γ-carboxyglutamate.

Low platelet count: ① Decreased platelet production, common in blood diseases such as aplastic anemia and acute leukemia, and after the use of certain chemotherapy drugs, often accompanied by anemia and leukopenia; ② Excessive platelet destruction, most of which have unknown causes and some are secondary to autoimmune diseases and the use of certain drugs; ③ Abnormal platelet distribution, common in splenomegaly, etc.

Blood stasis means poor blood circulation. This type of people have blood stasis in the body, which causes blood to not return to the meridians and overflow outside the vessels, and ecchymosis will appear. Generally, there will be symptoms such as dull complexion, dark lips, dark eye sockets, rough skin, and purple tongue. If it is really serious, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
