Hello all. Hope you all had a great Christmas and good start to the New Year's.

Got a question for all you experts.

Ray is currently 8 months post-op from his surgery. Everything has been fantastic. Not one single problem.

He developed petechiae on his hands a few weeks ago and it is still there. It is just on his hands. Both hands, same place.

Has anyone else had this and what did they tell you about it? He has an appointment with his cardio on 5 February and I believe it can wait until then as he doesn't have anything else wrong. He's not tired or sick. Just the petechiae. I just want to make sure this isn't a warning sign of something.

Thank you in advance.
 
It's not very common, but it does happen from time to time. What is his INR? Usually, it means the INR is high, but not always. Sometimes it's just a mystery.
