Does petechiae get scabby?

Lower leg seems like scratches or lines of tiny sores or am I sleeping with Freddy Krueger?

Hello there @Zambo. From my experience, although I am not medically trained, petechia doesn’t get scabby. Could it be shingles? I don’t want to alarm you by saying that but it took ages for the medics to diagnose me with shingles a few years ago and blood cancer patients can be more susceptible to it. Warm wishes. Willow

Hi @Zambo sorry I cannot answer your questions others, may be able to share their experiences, well I am not sure if anyone can answer if you are sleeping with Freddy Krueger or not !!!
As for your original question it might be one for someone on your medical team.
Look after yourself and please let us know how you get on and whether it is Freddy or not…

Thanks for your responses, spoke to doctor, it is not shingles but is giving me a cream and hopefully that will sort it out :grin:
