If you’re like me, you regularly examine your body for lumps, bumps, bruises, and anything else that just doesn’t feel right.
Call me paranoid or overly cautious, but I like to know what’s going on in my body and I like to be prepared to seek medical help if I ever find something that suggests an unexplained change.
It turns out that red dots on the skin aren’t all that uncommon. In fact, there are several causes, so I thought it would be helpful to list them here for anyone who might find themselves in the same situation.
It’s important to note that red dots on the skin can come in different sizes, shapes, and shades, and their meanings can be just as broad. Some are completely harmless, while others can have potentially serious causes.
Petechiae and Purpura:
These petechiae, which look like tiny red dots on the skin, are the result of damaged blood vessels or capillaries. They can be caused by stress, coughing, or certain medications. They are generally harmless but can indicate underlying medical problems such as platelet disorders.
