Red spots on hands, wrists and arm. help! what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: How big are they? Do they itch? How long have you had them? As much as more info may help me help you, though, the best thing for skin problems is to have them looked at. See your doctor, or go to an urgent care if worrisome.
