Suggest Treatment For Petechiae On The Thighs

Hello, About a month ago I lightly scratched an area on my thigh and the next day I noticed petechiae all over that area. A week later I had two quarter size flat red spots on the back of my leg. Recently I noticed a few petechiae on my inner cheeks of my mouth. They disappeared and then a few days later were on the opposite side and have now disappeared. I also noticed for the past week my tongue has a white light film over it (it is not thick) and pumps at the back of my tongue and on the right side of my tongue. Am I deficient in a certain vitamin, etc? I was also suppose to have my wisdom teeth removed but have not got around to it yet could it have anything to do with that?

You definitely need to consukt your GP for the assesment of these petechiae. The most important test is blood complete picture as any doctor would like to see your platelet count. Vitamin deficienfy will be assesed later.
