Re: I'm all done - why depressed?

Re: Eye Twitching...even losing lashes/brows

Re: blue and red spots on legs?

Petechiae are small purple-ish/red-ish spots. This is caused by low platelets. It could, of course, be something else but I agree that you should check with your doctor as soon as possible.
