What do red spots on the skin mean and when should you see a doctor?

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and, at the same time, one of the most vulnerable. It is exposed daily to external aggressors: sun, pollution, stress, and inadequate skincare. Yet, many people underestimate the importance of proper skincare and fail to pay attention to the early warning signs.

Among these signs are redness, pimples, or rashes that can appear on different parts of the body. While some are completely benign, others can be a symptom of a more serious illness. This is why dermatologist Dr. Tatyana explains that it is crucial to distinguish between temporary redness and redness that indicates a deeper health problem.

🔹Dermatovirus diseases

This type of rash often occurs during viral infections such as dengue, Zika, or other tropical viruses. It is characterized by small reddish spots that spread rapidly on the skin and may be accompanied by fever, muscle pain, and fatigue.

➡️If you experience such symptoms, consult a doctor immediately, as only a doctor can determine if it is a viral infection and prescribe appropriate treatment.
