Neonatal lupus erythematosus


Purpura

Purpura (from Latin: purpura, meaning \"purple\") is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin that do not blanch on applying pressure. They are caused by bleeding underneath the skin. This term refers to an abnormally increased susceptibility to developing purpura. Purpura are larger than petechiae.
