Severe headache and purple spots on the body are signs and symptoms that can be caused by related or non-related health problems. The headache can be caused by high blood pressure (hypertension) associated with some disease that affects the kidneys and small blood vessels of the skin leading to the purple spots that can appear in some diseases, such as arteritis (inflammation of the arteries).
Severe headache and purple spots on the body can also be caused by a trauma, an accident or a stroke. Purple spots may arise in diseases that affect blood vessels or in coagulation disorders, such as in meningococcemia, leukemia, or the use of anticoagulant medications.
In these situations you should seek a medical care service to clarify your cause and perform the necessary treatment.
