Purpura is a common occurrence in people with CLL. It appears as a red, purple, brown, or black rash, depending on your skin tone. This happens because CLL can affect your platelet count, which can lead to easier bruising and bleeding.
These spots are typically larger than tiny dots (called petechiae) but smaller than regular bruises (called ecchymoses). While purpura is common with CLL, it's important to keep track of any new skin changes and report them to your hematologist or dermatologist at your next appointment. They can help determine if any additional monitoring or treatment is needed.
Many symptoms can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes recommended by your healthcare provider.
