- Allergic Reactions: Red dots on the skin may result from allergic reactions to foods, medications, or environmental triggers. Hives, characterized by raised, red welts, are a common manifestation of allergic responses. Identifying and avoiding allergens is crucial, and severe reactions require immediate medical attention.
- Pet Bites or Insect Stings: Insect bites, including those from mosquitoes or fleas, can cause red, itchy dots on the skin. Scratching these bites may lead to inflammation and potential infection. Tick bites, in particular, should be monitored, as they can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease.
