Help doctors! what're these pin point little dots of red(looks like blood not yet to the surface of my skin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red Dots: The little red dots you see on your skin are called angiomas. A cherry angioma is a noncancerous (benign) skin growth made up of blood vessels. Angiomas are fairly common skin growths that vary in size. They can occur almost anywhere on the body, but usually develop on the trunk. They are most common after age 30. The cause is unknown, but they tend to be inherited (genetic).
