Whether purpura can be cured without treatment is related to the condition and the cause of the disease, for example, skin-type allergic purpura can be cured by itself, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura is often not cured by itself.
Purpura refers to bleeding on the skin with a diameter of 3~5mm. Purpura can be caused by a variety of etiological factors, the common ones are physiological capillary wall rupture, allergic purpura, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, coagulation abnormality and so on.
1. Purpura due to physiologic capillary wall rupture is common in women, these patients do not have pathological diseases, platelet count and coagulation function are not abnormal, it can be self-healing, but may recur.
Allergic purpura is caused by an increase in capillary fragility after exposure to allergens, often without abnormal platelet count and coagulation function. It is categorized into cutaneous, abdominal, renal, arthritic and mixed types of purpura. Among them, skin-type purpura is the mildest, and most patients can recover spontaneously.
2. Patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura have reduced platelet counts, which cannot be cured on their own and need to be actively treated for the cause of the disease, including prednisone and other drugs. Abnormal coagulation function can also lead to skin purpura, often difficult to self-healing, and need to be actively treated for the cause of the disease, such as liver injury patients should be glutathione liver protection therapy.
It is recommended that the patient go to the hematology department in time, complete the relevant examination to clarify the cause of purpura, and then under the guidance of the physician to address the cause of the treatment.
