Other Skin Issues with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Some other skin issues occur in people with acute myeloid leukemia. Bruises may develop when there is damage to blood vessels under the skin. People with acute myeloid leukemia are more prone to bruises as their bodies do not produce sufficient platelets to clot blood. The look of these bruises may be similar to others, but the number is often higher. They may appear on unusual parts, especially the back. Similarly, bleeding may occur easily after a small cut or injury due to a lack of platelets. Last but not least, skin color may change in different ways. [8]
