Throbocytopenia means 'platelet deficiency'. Purpura means 'of the blood'.
A knock or trauma to the skin will cause blood vessels to rupture. As platelets are responsible for clotting, the rupture will bleed for longer, causing larger bruising and allowing bruising to occur more readily.

Persons with this condition easily bruise and can have episodes of excess bleeding (a hemorrhage).
idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
There are several causes for the blood platelets to drop on a newborn baby. A few reasons for the drop in platelets are a bruise, thrombocytopenic purpura, or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.
No, but sometimes those problems go together.
It is Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. In this process, blood clots (or thromboses) form in small blood vessels, leading to low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in the blood, along with skin manifestations (purpura).
Because the most common syndromatic cause of thrombocyropenia is called ITP, or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
the color of platelets is purple. excessive amount of platelets in the blood(thrombocytopenia) may be manifested as purpura(purplish discoloration of the skin)
This is called Thrombocytopenia and means that the body is low on platelets, a type of blood cell that helps your blood to clot when damage occurs to blood vessels. Depending on how low the platelet count is, individuals with Thrombocytopenia may bruise easily and experience nosebleeds or bleeding gums.

Things that cam cause small purple dot under the skin are bleeding under the skin, a small bruise, and the condition called purpura. The causes of purpura are blood clotting disorders, scurvy, and amyloidosis.
Contusions, purpurae, and petechiae all are purple skin discoloration caused by bleeding beneath the skin.
There is no known way to prevent thrombocytopenia.
