Purple rash (petechiae)

[ChocolateTeapot]

My daughter has today developed a small rash on the inside crease of both elbows. To begin with, my sister in law suggested it might be heat rash. I thought no more about it and as my daughter was not in any discomfort thought all was OK.

Anyway, the rash, which is made up of small purplish dots, has not gone this evening, and it does not go away if pressed. I suspect she has an autoimmune condition but has anyone else experienced something like this please?

Hello CT

Get her to a Doctor. Petechiae is a symptom of a few things some of which are potentially serious.
