I have red dots all over my body some flat some raised. i've had them for years. they look like blood filled moles. what are they? they bleed whencut

Hemangiomas: They are small overgrowths of blood vessels. They are right at the surface of the skin and that is why they look so red. Since they are made of blood vessels they will bleed easily. They become more common with age. They are not a problem except for cosmetic reasons.
