Question 4

dark heart shapped spots under my skin near my armpits. first appeared a month ago under one arm and now its under my other arm. idk what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Dark spots under arm: Dark skin at your armpits can occur due to shaving, chemical irritation or  ingrown hairs.  People who have diabetes and are obese may have acanthosis nigricans, where pigmentation may occur at the underarms and neck.  If the skin feels and otherwise looks okay, you can watch it for now, but if it continues to spread, a doctor should check it.  Avoid hair removal creams and other harsh chemicals.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Get checked: It sounds like you are describing cherry angioma, a benign blood vessel growth that is very common. However, i advise any time seeing something new or changing on your body go get it checked by your dermatologist.

Question 6

i have 3 blue spots under my skin one on my arm on outer thigh and on buttock they are sore when pressed on been there for years what could they be ?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Acute or sudden blue painful spots can be due to bruising. They can come from systemic issues ( like liver, etc), hemaniomas  and other things both "bad and not so bad". I would get a further evaluation with more testing . I woul imagine that the fact they have been there for a long time suggests the probably represent nothing serious... Not i would still get them checked out.

Question 7

i have tiny blood spots under my skin on my legs, arms and chest. they are not very noticeable, and they are scattered (not in clusters). i have noticed slight pain in the areas that they are located. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See derm: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 8

SPOTS IN HEAD?: How long have you had them? What color are they? Do they hurt? Do they itch? How big are the spots? Do you take any medications? How old are you? Where in your head?
