A member asked:
I had a cbc done and it showed a slight low potassium level. would this cause small red dots on legs and hands?

Does not add up: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, CBC does not measure potassium so the information you provided is not reliable and you should consult the doctor who ordered the test.
