D69.2: Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura

You have small bleeds in the skin or mucous membrane.

These kinds of bleeds can come with age, for example. When the blood vessels are no longer as strong and the skin not as firm in old age, you can bleed more easily. However, it is also possible that the cause of your bleeding is not known.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
