If you’re like me, you’ll 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 see a doctor if I ever find something that suggests an unexplainable change.
It turns out that red spots on the skin aren’t that uncommon. In fact, there are a number of causes, so I thought it would be helpful to list them here for anyone who might find themselves in the same situation.
It is important to note that red dots on the skin can be of different sizes, shapes and shades, and their meaning can be just as wide. Some are completely harmless, others can have potentially serious causes.
