    A patient presented with a rash consisting of small red dots (petechiae) on their skin that had been present for 6 years since age 2. The rash was originally thought to be caused by gymnastics but did not improve when gymnastics was stopped. The rash becomes more visible when the skin is hot and flustered, spreads slowly, and involves the arms, chest, back, neck and face. Blood tests showed normal platelets in the past but recent results were pending.
