What are the symptoms of a low platelet count?
Here are some clues that may indicate that you have a low platelet count or another bleeding disorder. • You bleed excessively and even a small cut bleeds for a long time. • You may develop small red dots on the surface of your skin, especially on your legs, which are called petechiae. • You have excessive bruising, including many purplish spots under the skin even when you haven’t had an injury. • You may have frequent nose bleeds or bleeding from your gums and mouth. Notify your doctor immediately if you have any of these symptoms.
