10. Patches of Skin Discoloration
For both children and adults experiencing sepsis, discoloration of the skin can be a clear sign that treatment is needed. This discoloration can manifest as pale, clammy skin, or people may have mottling on the skin that gradually worsens over time.
The marking that occurs from sepsis often appears as a hemorrhagic rash, which first has the appearance of pinprick red marks on the skins, similar to popped blood vessels, and grows until it looks like bruises. As the markings continue to expand, entire patches of red or purple can be found on the skin.
