How Can Petechiae On The Feet And Legs Be Treated?
I have petechiae on the tops of both feet that goes up to just under my knees. It started on the top of my left foot, and I thought it was just due to my socks; however it spread and I rarely wear socks, and when I do, they are only up to the ankle. I have CVD, but my Cardiologist said it s not vascular. It doesn t hurt, burn or itch. Thoughts?? Thank you, Kelly

Hi it can be due to vitamin C deficiency--do try vitamin C 500 mgs.
Or it could be due to fragile vessels. When you do wear socks, wear ones that are cotton and without elastic--regards
