A 45-year-old female reported the presence of numerous small, red, elevated lesions on her abdomen, breasts, and thigh for the past five days, accompanied by itching. She denied any recent drug intake or history of fever. Upon examination, multiple well-defined erythematous palpable purpuras measuring 1*1 cm were observed on the abdomen, breast, and thigh. The patient is indicative of palpable purpura. Could you provide information on potential causes of palpable purpura?
