Hi there,
What confection causes petechiae. I have been noticing them over my body. These ones in the picture just popped up on my arm. They are two red ones and a cluster of smaller ones. Please see attached photo. I tested negative for babs and positive for bart, and never treated for babs, but wondering if this is the missing link.
thanks!

I have them too my appear to be flatter. When I press on them they go away but immediately reappear. I have hd chronic lyme, babs, bart , myco,ebv ... all the usual .

However I was just diagnosed with rocky Mountain spotted fever due to another bite thus spring. I think that's it for me.

I don't think I got it to bad because I was already on iv and multiple meds.

Interest to see other responses. God bless Theresa
