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

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I do not have a fever, but I am experiencing light headache, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain. I had a CBC done, which shows a low platelet count of 52,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My platelets have been very low for the last 16 years. According to the CBC test report of my platelet count is 18000. Please help me find what my problem is?
