6. Symptoms of Petechiae

Symptoms vary from case to case and depend on the underlying illness that caused them. Spots may appear to be flat, meaning they are under the skin. Comparatively, a rash will feel like a bump on the surface of the skin. Also, when you touch a spot you think is petechiae, it should stay the same color. If it doesn't, then it is likely something else. Petechiae starts with one single spot and, as time goes by, it will develop into what looks like a rash. Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as high fever, changes in consciousness, confusion, or trouble breathing.
