Yes, healing problems and scarring are common with ITP due to low platelet counts. Platelets are crucial for wound healing, so cuts may take longer to heal and have a higher chance of scarring. For acne, be extra gentle with your skin - avoid harsh scrubs and picking. Talk to your hematologist about any significant cuts, and consider seeing a dermatologist for acne management that's safe for ITP patients.
