I Have These Weird Spots...

I have loads of spots on my arms and chest. They’re as small as a pin-prick (if not, then smaller). They seem to be under the skin, unlike acne spots. They’re also blood red. If I press down on them with my finger, the colour fades for a few seconds before coming back. The spots don’t hurt or itch or anything. It’s just that I’ve had these weird spots since last year and more of them keep appearing. I haven’t been to a doctor because no one seems too concerned about it. They admit that they don’t know what it is though. Could this be a lot more serious? I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but I’ve never had this before and certainly not for 5 or 6 months. Is it worth going to the doctor about?

Answer #1

It could be just prickly heat or a “heat rash”.

Unless it’s painful or itching, I wouldn’t worry too much. Your body has a definite way of telling you when something is wrong.

Answer #2

I agree

Answer #3

Yeah it could be many things. I am surprised the doctors don’t know! years of training and hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and they don’t know! Ask them to refer you to a dermatologist or specialist. If it was prickly heat surely they would know what that looks like?! It is quite common.

Answer #4

it is sweat bumps!!! I am sure of that cause I had them when I plyed basketball a lot, I dont know why but I did, and you dont have to be active to get them some people just do I hop I helped u! :)
