A study on treating asthma with essential oil showed substantial benefits from the use of lavender oil. Over 26 million children and adults in the United States have asthma. [1] Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases experienced by children. Many adults also have asthma.
A petechia, plural petechiae, is a small (1â2 mm) red or purple spot on the skin, caused by a minor bleed from broken capillary blood vessels. Petechia refers to one of the three descriptive types of bleeding into the skin differentiated by size, the other two being purpura and ecchymosis. Petechiae are by definition less than 3 mm. The term is almost always used in the plural, since a single lesion is seldom noticed or significant.
Symptoms. Tiny red, brown or purple spots, about the size of a pin-prick, that appear under the skin are petechiae (also called purpura). These spots are flat and donât itch or blanch (turn pale) when you press gently on them. A child may have just a few spots or clusters of them, often appearing on the face, chest, stomach or feet. Causes. Petechiae are caused when tiny blood vessels burst underneath the skin. Kids can develop them after a bout of coughing or vomiting, usually on the face. But widespread petechiae can be associated with serious disorders as well.
