Purpura of the chin: Two consecutive cases

Two healthy children, a 10-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, both with no previous medical history, unrelated, presented with pinpoint purpura of the chin and the upper lip. It had appeared 2 days before and extended from the chin to the lower lip. Neither had fever or recent trauma, nor had they taken any medication. Their vital parameters and physical examination were normal. Their peripheral blood cell counts and coagulation parameters were normal. A week later, upon the follow-up consultation, the purpuric lesions had disappeared and both children reported they had played the glass game.
