How many fingernail-sized purple spots are on your legs?Medical Advice: Hello, allergic purpura is a common vasculitic hemorrhagic disorder. It is caused by the body's abnormal reaction to certain allergenic substances, leading to widespread small vessel inflammation. This increases the permeability and fragility of small arteries and capillaries, accompanied by exudative hemorrhage and edema. The clinical manifestations of allergic purpura primarily include skin purpura, mucosal bleeding, and may also involve rashes, joint pain, abdominal pain, and kidney damage. Allergic purpura is more common in children and adolescents, with males being more affected than females. It tends to occur more frequently in spring and autumn.
In Western medicine, the treatment for pediatric allergic purpura only involves medications such as antibiotics and hormones to control the condition, but it cannot completely cure it. Wishing you good health.
