My son is 5, and I just noticed very small, flat red spots around his groin and his leg - do not appear to itch and not fading when pressed. Not very many & fairly spaced out (between 15-20). He had some kind of stomach bug on Saturday and still has very loose stools - not sure if related.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorAs per your description, it seems your child has petechial. These are very small bleeds under the skin which do not blanch on pressure. Petechiae found anywhere on the body could be a sign of a bleeding problem or a serious infection. If you suspect this, it's always better to visit your physician. They may ask you to go for a complete blood count and peripheral smear examination and sepsis work up. For further information on this, do contact us.
