iv got little red spots on my chest and arms , starting appearing about a year ago but recently they seem to be appearing a new one every couple of weeks, once they are here they never go.
I asked a locum gp about them last month she said they are nothing to worry about but theres nothing i can do about them either.
Any ideas ? What they are and how i get rid, they dont look very nice and im only 33.

They were not itchy or anything and when I relaxed they were gone :yesyes:

And they vary in size.

Oh, that can be a hives stress rash or something. Does it happen when you are nervous?

no they just randomly appear and once they are there they stay for good.
They dont hurt or itch they just dont look nice:weep:

Are they not little blood blisters? Me, my mam and my daughter have some of these.

Hello,
I have these all over my body. They are under my skin and don't blanche. Mine seemed to develop when I started taking medication for anxiety...I think its a pretty common symptom of Anti-anxiety/depression meds. Its called Petechiae...(don't google it!! as it comes back with all sorts). My Doctor said it was blood stains in skin and if your otherwise healthy it is not a concern. :)

I've had them for years and they have never bothered me not particially pretty but I've had them so long I'm used to them now but every day I notice a new one I have no idea what causes them though
