چکیده

Purpura is a dermatological finding with many underlying causes including hematological, traumatic, infectious, psychogenic, vascular, and drug-related causes. Although the localization of the lesions varies depending of the underlying cause, they can rarely present in atypical localizations. Lesions localized on the chin are generally attributed to infectious and factitious (mechanical) causes.

Despite every effort, the underlying causes of the disease could not be identified in our cases. Therefore, we consider that this could be a different disease.
