There are many purple spots on the body

People attach great importance to their bodies because they are afraid that if they do not pay attention in their daily lives, it will cause great harm to their bodies. Those people will find a lot of purple spots on their bodies in life, and often they will think that they were accidentally bumped or hit somewhere. But in fact, purple spots on the body are often caused by other reasons, such as bruises, subcutaneous hemorrhage, etc. But no matter which situation it is, timely measures must be taken to resolve it.

Have you ever noticed that your legs or some parts of your body have inexplicable purple spots, which do not hurt or itch. At first, you might think that you accidentally bumped into something, but when it happens so many times, you might wonder if you have a disease! It turns out that there are many possibilities for strange bruises on our bodies, and the most common one is that we are usually hit by external forces! Because our capillaries are very fragile, they can easily rupture due to external forces, forming purple bruises!

The second situation is that not only do you have bruises on your body, but you also go to the hospital for a checkup and find that your platelets are also reduced. This requires caution. When the platelets are reduced, it will cause a coagulation disorder and lead to internal bleeding, which will manifest on the skin as subcutaneous bleeding spots, and there will also be bleeding in the gums, mouth, and nose. In severe cases, there will also be bleeding in the digestive tract and internal organs, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or aplastic anemia. Once these phenomena occur, you must seek medical attention in time!

The third situation is subcutaneous bleeding in the absence of thrombocytopenia, such as allergic purpura. This is a vascular allergic disease. Severe reactions can invade the skin and mucous membrane arterioles and capillaries. The disease recurs, and skin purpura is symmetrically distributed, which is more common in adolescents. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are generally two possibilities. One is that weak spleen leads to reduced blood flow function. People of this type generally also have symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and loose stools. The second type is blood stasis, which is caused by poor blood circulation. Generally, people with this type of disease have dark complexion, dark lips, dark circles under the eyes, rough skin, etc.

How should patients with bruises on their bodies be treated?

First, if the skin bruises are caused by low platelets, a nutritious, high-calorie, high-protein, multi-vitamin, and rich in inorganic salts diet should generally be given to help restore hematopoietic function. Second, avoid overwork and ensure adequate sleep. Third, take part in some appropriate exercises, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, etc., to enhance your physical fitness. Fourth, keep a happy mood and prevent external injuries. Fifth, proper massage or hot compress can relieve symptoms.
