Sure! Here’s a list-style explanation of 11 possible reasons you might have red dots on your skin, ranging from harmless to things worth checking out with a doctor:
11 Reasons Why You Have Red Dots On Your Skin
1. Cherry Angiomas
These are small, bright red spots made up of blood vessels. Totally harmless and very common, especially as you age.
2. Petechiae
Tiny red or purple dots caused by bleeding under the skin. These don’t fade when pressed and can indicate something more serious like an infection or a clotting issue.
3. Heat Rash
Also known as “prickly heat,” it shows up as small red bumps due to blocked sweat glands—common in hot or humid conditions.
4. Allergic Reactions
Contact with allergens (like certain soaps, plants, or fabrics) can cause red, itchy dots or hives on your skin.
5. Keratosis Pilaris
Sometimes called “chicken skin,” this is a common, harmless condition that causes tiny red bumps, especially on the upper arms or thighs.
