Leukemia red dots are related to bleeding and usually do not fade when pressed. Ordinary red spots are related to allergies, etc., and the color may or may not fade when pressed.
1. The cause of red dots in leukemia is bleeding in the skin and mucous membranes, platelet abnormality, etc., resulting in blood stagnation in the skin or under the mucous membranes, which can occur in various parts of the body, and the color may not fade away when pressed, and the color is mostly red or dark red, and in serious cases, even nosebleeds, increased menstrual bleeding, bleeding from the gums, and intracranial hemorrhage may occur.
2. Ordinary red spots may also be bleeding under the skin. In addition to this, contact with allergic substances, skin diseases and other diseases can also cause spots and pimples, etc., which may fade or turn white when pressed, and may be accompanied by increased temperature, itching and other symptoms.
A more important way to differentiate between the two is to perform a bone marrow aspiration cytology, as bone marrow cytology is the gold standard for diagnosing leukemia. The diagnosis and treatment of the disease should be made under the supervision of a physician.
