What Is Purpura?
8. Medication
In many cases, no treatment will be deemed necessary and the condition will likely pass naturally without any harm being done. When needed, however, medications can often be used to help cure the condition, depending on what the exact cause is. Corticosteroids are sometimes prescribed because they can help to increase the patient’s platelet count.
The patient might also be asked to stop using certain medication if it might be causing the condition. This includes medication that can thin the blood, aspirin, and ibuprofen. It may take some time for the treatment to take effect and for the symptoms to pass.
