    Tiny bright red flecks? and small red area

    On my arm I first noticed a small red patch and I thought oh ****, what's that? Just like you've rubbed an area of skin, but staying there.

    I don't know why, I just thought 'blood problem' so I hurriedly looked up the symptoms of Leukemia and it said about 'pigmented rash-like spots' I have no idea what exactly that means.

    My interpretation was the red skin thing I saw, but then I noticed these TINY, pin-prick sized BRIGHT RED things that look like they want to be moles but instead are bright red :(

    Anybody notice these on themselves? Anything to worry about?

    I get them sometimes, don't know why, can be bruising or if you've lightly bumped an area. What about an allergy to something? Don't worry yourself too much, and don't look up symptoms on the Internet its very bad for you - there needs to be a health warning on it!!!!
    Take care

    Phew, thanks Wannabeloved85! Yep that describes them.

    I know it's bad to look stuff up :( But it's just so easy to do when I'm on my own in here with a laptop.

    I'm not sure if I bumped it, as it doesn't hurt. Maybe it wouldve hurt a couple of days ago and it's fading. Argh now I have to wait and hope for it to fade.

    Hi Guys,

    My Mum gets these too. She's still alive and kicking. Well, she's alive, dont think I have ever seen her kick anything before.

    -----------------------------
    I want to go up to my anxiety, smile, put my arm around it and say to it caringly, 'Hey! How are you? How's your day been?'

    Then, just as its about to answer me, I wanna throw a sack over it and give it a hiding within an inch of its life.

    That would be nice.

    I've got loads of them too. I once mentioned them to the doctor years ago and she told me what they are, but I've forgotten what she said - something to do with getting older and nothing to worry about. So don't worry.
