It can also affect blood vessels in the bowel and the kidneys. When the blood vessels get inflamed, they can bleed into the skin, causing a rash that is called purpura. The intestines and the kidneys may also bleed.

People with darker Asian, Mediterranean, or African skin tones are also more prone to hyperpigmentation, especially if they have excess sun exposure.yperpigmentation can be diffuse or focal, affecting such areas as the face and the back of the hands. Melanin is produced by melanocytes at the lower layer of the epidermis. Melanin is a class of pigment responsible for producing color in the body in places such as the eyes, skin, and hair.

The rash is basically a number of small red or purple spots in the skin.here are several causes that can lead to the formation of a petechial skin rash. It may be caused by minor trauma to the skin, leading to some hemorrhaging under the skin’s surface. The hemorrhaging is simply damage to the capillary blood vessels in the skin. This trauma may also be in other forms.

Pigmented purpuric dermatosis Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a chronic condition characterized by reddish-brown skin lesions caused by leaky capillaries. Although they can arise on any part of the body, they are most commonly located on the lower legs. In some cases, the skin lesions cause severe itching. The skin lesions may spread over time, or clear up on their own. The cause of pigmented purpuric dermatosis is unknown. Occasionally, it occurs as a reaction to a medication, food additive, viral infection or following exercise. In rare cases, there appears to be a genetic component.

- Black and blue marks are often associated with bruises. A bruise, or “contusion,” appears on the skin due to trauma. Examples of trauma are a cut or a blow to the area. The injury causes tiny blood vessels called capillaries to burst.The blood gets trapped below the skin’s surface, which causes a bruise. Bruises can occur at any age.Some bruises appear with very little pain, and you might not notice them.While bruises are common, it’s important to know your treatment options and whether your condition warrants emergency medical attention.he blood gets trapped below the skin’s surface, which causes a bruise.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, acquired Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare blood disorder. In TTP, blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body.The clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. As a result, serious health problems can develop.TP is a rare disorder. It can be fatal or cause lasting damage, such as brain damage or a stroke, if it's not treated right away. TTP usually occurs suddenly and lasts for days or weeks, but it can continue for months. Relapses (or flareups) can occur in up to 60 percent of people who have the acquired type of TTP.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura Thrombocytopenia can lead to small areas of bleeding just under the surface of the skin, resulting in purplish spots called purpura. This disorder also causes red blood cells to break down (undergo hemolysis) prematurely. As blood squeezes past clots within blood vessels, red blood cells can break apart. A condition called hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare disorder that causes blood clots (thrombi) to form in small blood vessels throughout the body.n people with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, clots develop in blood vessels even in the absence of injury. Blood clots are formed from clumps of cell fragments called platelets, which circulate in the blood and assist with clotting.
