10 Causes of Purpura
Cause #1: Bone Marrow Transplants
Bone marrow transplants can interfere with the body’s production of platelets. Platelets are the cells that your body produces to help clot your blood. People who don’t have enough platelets are more prone to extreme bruising and excessive bleeding
Many people believe that blood clotting is inherently dangerous, but this isn’t the case. Blood clotting is actually the process by which our wounds heal. People whose blood doesn’t clot properly can end up with bleeding disorders like hemophilia.
