Red dots on my skin...


Over the past year, I have been getting red dots on my skin.
They are not raised and not itchy --> but they are bright red and increasing in number.

They are mainly on my upper arms and chest, but I do have some on my thighs, lower arms, and neck.

I went to a dermatologist who said that they were nothing to worry about and no one knew the cause. I am nervous about this diagnosis because these red dots just keep coming!

Someone suggested that it could be a problem with my blood. I found a couple of articles on it -- but I am hoping that people here can share their personal experiences and advice with me.

I'm going to my doctor soon to get a referral to a hematologist... but in the meantime, I can't help but wonder what could be wrong with me and how they will diagnose it!

Thanks for sharing any experience or advice.

Deaf woman who actually hears and talks !!


This is fascinating !!!

Veronika lost her hearing as a child, but had it restored by a completely implantable device manufactured by Otologics.

I wonder if it is more of a commercial than an unbiased discussion of the improvement that this young woman experienced.
