psychogenic purpura

There are also cases of psychogenic purpura described in the medical literature, some claimed to be due to "autoerythrocyte sensitization".

Painful bruising syndrome (also known as "Autoerythrocyte sensitization," "Gardner-Diamond syndrome," and "Psychogenic purpura") is an idiopathic trauma-induced condition seen in young to middle-aged women who sometimes manifest personality disorders.

Other studies suggest the local (cutaneous) activity of tPA can be increased in psychogenic purpura, leading to substantial amounts of localized plasmin activity, rapid degradation of fibrin clots, and resultant bleeding.
