Question
How should allergic purpura be treated? Do I need to go to the hospital? How long will it take to improve?
Answer
Allergic purpura refers to the general term for the color change of skin and mucous membrane bleeding. Clinical manifestations include pinpoint hemorrhages, purpura, and ecchymosis, usually not elevated above the skin surface, and may be slightly raised in allergic purpura. They start purple-red, do not fade under pressure, and gradually become paler, turning yellow and resolving around two weeks later. Bed rest is recommended to facilitate the resolution of skin purpura and reduce recurrence. Identify and eliminate triggers, avoid suspicious foods and medications; clear infection foci, and appropriately apply antibiotics.
