My question is about her thin skin and her tendency to bleed easily. She has dark spots which she calls bruises but actually appear to be blood pooled under the skin making dark red or purplish blotches. They appear on her lower arms and she doesn't get rid of one before another one appears.
What Are Thrombocytopenia and ITP? If you have thrombocytopenia, you don't have enough platelets in your blood. Platelets help your blood clot, which stops bleeding. For most people, it's not a big problem. But if you have a severe form, you can bleed too much when you're injured or spontaneously in your eyes, gums, or bladder. A healthy person usually has a platelet count of 150,000 to 400,000. You have thrombocytopenia if your number falls under 150,000.
