Bleeding spots appearing in the early stage of leukemia will slowly increase with the aggravation of the disease or the continuous decrease of platelet count, and even visceral bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage will occur in severe cases. If the leukemia is relieved by treatment, the bleeding spots can be significantly reduced or disappeared along with it.
Leukemia bleeding spots can be distributed in all parts of the body, mostly in the limbs, and less in the head, face and neck. Leukemia hemorrhagic spots are usually pinpoint shaped and are more obvious in the lower limbs, and when the disease worsens, they may also appear on the head, face, neck and trunk.
Petechiae of different shapes and sizes usually appear around the bleeding points, and the number of petechiae may increase significantly when the disease worsens or when coagulation disorders occur, and in severe cases, internal bleeding and intracranial bleeding may even occur. When leukemia is in remission after active treatment, the number of petechiae can be significantly reduced or disappear.
When leukemia is diagnosed and bleeding spots appear in the early stage, one should consult a doctor immediately and receive active treatment, which may lead to a better prognosis.
