  1. It is basically an inflammation of blood vessels and is characterized by hemorrhages on the skin, arthritis and joint and abdominal pain. Very rarely it can cause irreversible kidney damage. It's usual cause is as a result from a viral or bacterial infection, and sometimes is a reaction to some drugs. The skin hemmorages usually appear on the legs but can appear on a smaller scale on the arms.

    "Henoch-Schönlein purpura, also known as allergic purpura and commonly abbreviated to HSP, is a systemic vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) characterized by deposition of immune complexes containing the antibody IgA in the skin and kidney. It occurs mainly in young children.

    Typical symptoms include palpable purpura (small hemorrhages in the skin), joint pains and abdominal pain. Most cases are self-limiting and require no treatment apart from symptom control, but the disease may relapse in a third of the cases and cause irreversible kidney damage in about one in a hundred cases.[1] The exact cause of Henoch-Schönlein purpura is unknown, although it may occur after certain viral and bacterial infections, as well as an adverse drug reaction to some medications."

    Check out the Wiki site and consider Vitamin K as a useful treatment for a short period of time. Good fortune to you and get well soon.
