Did you mean Purpura?

GlossaryPurpura

condition with purple skin spots from leaking blood vessels

Purpura refers to a condition characterized by the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin, caused by small blood vessels leaking under the skin. These spots can vary in size and are often a sign of an underlying medical issue, such as a blood clotting disorder, an infection, or a reaction to certain medications. For professionals, it's important to differentiate purpura from other similar conditions like petechiae or ecchymoses, as the underlying causes and treatments may differ.
