Q: Red Spots - Help Please
asked by: bellaluna221 on June 11th, 2004

Once in awhile, I get these little tiny red spots (not raised) all on my right arm... For awhile, I just thought it was because of the way I slept on it.
But today, my cousin looked at it and she said that its b/c I dont have enough iron in me.
Is this true?
I looked up common symptoms of iron deficiency, and I have none of those symptoms.. But could is still be a result of not having enough iron?

If not, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Red Spots
The red spots could be a sign your platelets are low or it could be a condition called cherry angiomas. Since I don't know what your spots look like it is hard to say. If u go to google and type in cherry angiomas one of the web sites will show a picture and if it looks like your spots then most likely that is what it is. If not just might be your platelets. My son when his platelets r low he get tiny spots but normally for him they r all over not just in one location. Hope this helps.
