Common causes: it may be of hereditary origin, present from birth, or appear in relation to other conditions or substances that affect platelet function.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist, and in children the pediatric hematologist, studies how the platelets work, while the pediatrician can guide the first evaluation. If you notice bleeding or bruising that stands out, it is advisable to bring it up with a professional who can evaluate it in detail.
