You can't do anything to treat petechiae, as it's a symptom of something else. You may notice that the spots fade as you recover from an infection or stop taking a medication. They may also go away as you treat the underlying condition causing the spots.

How long does it take for petechiae to fade?

Petechiae usually resolve on their own after about two to three days. However, some home remedies prevent the spots from forming or help them quickly ease after they form.

Do petechiae disappear?

If a person experiences petechiae as a reaction to a particular drug, the petechiae will disappear once they stop taking it. If the cause is a viral or bacterial infection, the petechiae should clear up once the infection stops. A doctor will diagnose the cause of petechiae and recommend the appropriate treatment.
