Little Red Spots Here And There Posted: 09-03-03 19:46pm
I have noticed lately that I have these
tiny little red spots here and there on my
hands, a couple on my arms and a few on my
legs. They are so tiny that they resemble
an itty bitty freckle. I pull my skin to
the side to tighten the area where it's
red and they disappear for a second until
I let the skin lay normal, and then they
re-appear. I have had these for a couple
of years now and they just stay the same
size, but now I have more of them in
different areas. I have noticed my mom
has a bigger one on her leg and my husband
has one on his back also. Is this the
era of skin cancer beginning that nobody
has paid attention to??
These are hemangiomas, they are little
collections of blood vessels on the skin,
they are benign, you will probably get
more and are inherited

Ditto on the last post--these are
extremely common--harmless & most
everyone has them.---rule of thumb is
---the older you get, the more you will
have !!!--try to ignore them---they are
not ugly !!!!!!

Similar Question... Posted: 08-09-06 21:39pm
I have been noticing that I am getting
small red spots on my legs that are about
and eigth of an inch wide and purplish or
dark red in color. They have an almost
bruise like appearance but are more
defined in their shape than a bruise.
They appear randomly and then disappear
within a few days, but it has been about a
year or so that I have been experiencing
them. Today I noticed that I have one
reddish pink one on my leg which has
coincided with itching all over my legs
for no reason that I can conceive. My
legs are just so itchy, especially near
the area of the red spot and it prevented
me from sleeping comfortably last night.
I'm thinking I should see my physician,
but I am the type of person who tries not
to worry about things and lets them pass.
Thanks for your time.
