Hi, I have a question. I am getting little red spots on my body. Mostly on my hand and arm. Its pretty small and light. It has small veins comming out of the center. Does anyone know what this might be?

They are called 'cherry angiomas".some people just 'get" them and in others it can indicate a problem somewhere.did these all just appear all at once or were they developed singlely over time?it wouldn't hurt to just show them to your doc at the next visit to see what he/she thinks about them.my son had a couple of very small ones on his hand and one very big bright red one with the tiny little red capillaries surrounding it that had started out just like a red tiny dot.we eventually found out that he was suffering from liver failure and the dot appeared because of whats clled portal hypertension.BUT, i have had these little things as far back as i can remember and i am not in liver failure.so, there ya go.like i said, some people will get these little guys for really no reason at all,and some don't.strange but true.i seriously doubt that in the location yours are that there really is not anything to worry about.Like i said, just show them to your doc the next time you see him for something.FB
