Trauma (even the slightest pinch) causes bruising in the healthiest of individuals. I've definitely had the leukemia fear before! Whenever I scratch a bug bite or itch too hard, I develop petechiae or bruising without fail and I'm pretty darn healthy (despite what my anxiety tries to tell me ;) ).
Ugh. Thank you so much. Your comment is very helpful. I'm the same way with the scratching -- as are my daughters. We're pretty fair-skinned and I'm usually able to remember that. But Amman,, this health anxiety is getting the best of me today. There is just no rational response going on here.
