My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.

Easy bruising and low platelet count could point to a condition like ITP or a temporary reaction to an infection. If the platelet count stays low consistently, your father may need a more detailed blood and liver workup. It is best to consult a hematologist to understand the cause and decide whether treatment or observation is required. Try to maintain adequate Hb levels.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test

View allHi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?
