Hiya I have about 3 or 4 tiny red dots on my arms and lips. I've had them for about 2 - 3 years. Could this be a sign of luekemia?

My dear, in a word....NO.
If that is ALL that is bothering you, relax. You do not have leukemia.

hi i have these too all over my arms! i was told they are called ginblossoms and can be caused by smoking and drinking. all they are is tiny burst blood vessels.i dont think they are harmful, and i think if you smoke and quit they will go away.also i think lasers can zap them off.i had a large one on my cheek and had it lasered and it shrunk quite a bit.i think one more go with the laser will take it off! hope i helped!
