► Not all skin bleeding looks the same! Understanding the terminology used to describe bleeding into the skin is crucial for diagnosing different medical conditions. These terms are not interchangeable—they each indicate different causes and clinical implications.

Here’s what you need to know:

Petechiae – Tiny red or purple spots smaller than 3mm, caused by small capillary hemorrhages. Often seen in thrombocytopenia or viral infections.
Purpura – Larger patches of bleeding under the skin greater than 3mm but usually under 1 cm. This can be associated with vasculitis, clotting disorders, or certain medications.
Ecchymosis – A bruise-like area of bleeding larger than 1 cm, often due to trauma or coagulation disorders.
Palpable Purpura – Unlike regular purpura, palpable purpura is raised and can be felt under the fingertips. This suggests inflammatory damage to blood vessels, such as in vasculitis.

Being able to differentiate these terms helps medical professionals make more accurate diagnoses, especially in cases of blood disorders, infections, or autoimmune diseases. Watch this short clip to strengthen your medical terminology and master the language of skin hemorrhages!
