new cherry angiomas , blood-coloured spots on my arms Posted: 06-11-04 12:49pm
I have also posted this in the blood
disorders forum, simply because I have no
clue what is causing this:
when I search online for these symptoms, I
only get hits related to pretty benign
things. I'm not sure if I should even see
a doctor. However all of these things
seems to have a very sudden onset. In the
past week or so, I have noticed a ton of
new cherry angiomas, I have had about 5
broken capillaries form on my face, and I
have tiny pinprick-like blood-coloured
spots on my arms (tons of them). I have
no abnormal bleeding but having some very
deep bruising. Is this something related
to my cell count or platelets or is it
just normal and I shouldn't worry? My
husband is of the latter opinion. Thanks.
A note for this forum. I don't know if
this is related but I am also having
terrible adult acne when i've rarely had
acne before, even as a teen.

I don't know either... Posted: 05-15-08 13:57pm
I have the same problem. I've had some
small broken capillaries on my arm and
chest for as long as I can remember.
Recently I have found new ones -two within
the last week. I have a connective tissue
disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, or
EDS(at least the doctors think I do), and
I'm not sure if it's related. I also have
easy bruising which is one of the
symptoms. I would love to know what you
find out about this because, although I
know this is a normal part of the aging
process, I really only see it in people my
parents age. I'm 26. Good luck. I just
called the doctor because I found a new
one on my fingertip this morning. I will
try to let you know what she says.
