Petechiae is bleeding under the skin.

[Hollyberry]

I have this occasionally on ny arms and sometimes if knocked, bleeds, I have googled this and apperently it can be conected to Coeliac Disease, any others out there have any help to advise. My GP just dismissed me sayin it was not a problem?

Hi Hollyberry

I have not come across this before. Has your doctor given you any explanation as to what causes it? Or what to do about it? If you feel your current doctor is not helpful, can you speak to another one?

Good luck.

Hi, thanks for your response, yes I did speak to one GP, who was not interested, I have made another appt with a different GP, and am going to insist on seeing a Sonni specialist.
