- Petechiae: Tiny, pinpoint red dots known as petechiae may be a result of broken blood vessels beneath the skin. This can be caused by conditions such as trauma, straining, or certain infections. In some cases, petechiae may signal a more serious underlying issue, necessitating medical evaluation.
- Cherry Angiomas: Cherry angiomas are common benign growths that appear as small, bright red dots on the skin. While generally harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for some individuals. If you notice changes in the appearance of these spots or experience bleeding, consult a dermatologist for a thorough assessment.
