A member asked:

I have these small red bumps all over my arm, and they are getting worse. also, can this rash effect the heart? do rashes affect pain in arm veins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Impossible to say: How can you expect an answer when one cannot even visualize the rash? See a dermatologist. It is highly unlikely that the rash is associated with cardiac issues.
