Patient's question:
How should allergic purpura be treated? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
A general term for the color change of the skin and mucous membranes after bruising and bleeding. Clinically, it manifests as petechiae, purpura, and ecchymosis, which are generally not elevated above the skin surface, except in allergic purpura when they may slightly protrude. Initially, they appear purplish-red, non-blanchable upon pressure, and gradually fade over time, turning yellow and resolving within about two weeks. Bed rest is recommended to facilitate the resolution of skin purpura and reduce its recurrence. Identify and eliminate triggers, avoiding suspected foods and medications; clear infection foci, and appropriately use antibiotics.
