Red dots on your skin can be concerning, but they often have benign causes. However, some may indicate underlying health issues that require medical attention. Here’s an overview of common causes and when to seek professional advice.
🔴 Common Causes of Red Dots on Skin
1. Petechiae
Tiny, flat red, purple, or brown spots that appear when small blood vessels (capillaries) burst under the skin. They don’t blanch (turn white) when pressed. Common causes include:
-
Straining during coughing, vomiting, or childbirth
-
Infections like strep throat, meningitis, or dengue fever
-
Blood disorders such as thrombocytopenia or leukemia

Certain medications, including blood thinners and some antibiotic
If petechiae appear suddenly, spread quickly, or are accompanied by fever or other symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
2. Cherry Angiomas
Small, bright red, dome-shaped bumps caused by clusters of blood vessels. They are harmless and common in adults over 30, often appearing on the chest and arms. They may bleed if scratched but are typically not a cause for concern.
3. Spider Angiomas
Red spots with radiating lines resembling a spider’s web. They are common and often benign but can indicate underlying conditions if numerous. Increased numbers may be associated with liver disease or hormonal changes.
4. Heat Rash (Miliaria)
