It may be caused by hemangioma or allergic purpura. It is best to go to a regular hospital's dermatology department for examination. After the condition is confirmed, symptomatic treatment should be given. It is best to check and treat as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.

Allergic purpura is an allergic reaction caused by triggers, which combines with the body's antigens to produce immune complexes. Once attached to the blood vessel walls, it will cause the blood vessel walls to become thinner, and the permeability and fragility will increase. The blood vessels can easily be damaged, and blood can overflow onto the skin epidermis, forming bleeding spots and ecchymosis.
