Purpura (purple skin spots) is not caused by leukemia; it may result from an allergic reaction or subcutaneous bleeding. You should visit a reputable Grade A, Class 3 hospital in your area for a routine blood test. In daily life, pay close attention to your diet: avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible, and refrain from consuming foods known to trigger allergic reactions. It is essential to strengthen your immune system by supplementing with adequate vitamins and protein.
