A member asked:

Can red pimple like spots on my skin be the result of poor sleeping patterns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Antonio Cruz answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Not likely: Lack of sleep has its health implications but tough to say that red spots you have are a direct result of a lack of sleep.
