No, this doesn’t look like petechiae, more like a big bruise. I often get these bruises on my hands for no apparent reason . They always fade away within a few days. Petechiae, on the other hand (no pun intended!), usually appear as a series of tiny red or purple dots. If you are worried you should ask your haematologist, if you have one, but I don’t think it is anything to worry about..
Thanks so much for letting me know. I have a hematologist but he is 3 and a half hours away so I can’t get to him easily. I fell asleep on my arm because I woke up with pins and needles in it and then I got the purple mark on my hand. Have a good night
