Re: red dots after vomiting
I once had a huge bruise on my eyeball. It went away in a few day, but the sight of it frightened me. Happened after vomitting too.
Re: red dots after vomiting
Hi there. Nothing to worry about. These little dots are called petechiae - petechial hemorrhaging is common after vomiting due to pressure. They also come up if people are strangled to death... too many episodes of CSI to my credit...
They should take a few days to go away.

Re: red dots after vomiting
I hope so. They haven't even faded yet. I just get concerned because I have had little red dots appear before (and in correction to above some of them are tiny dots), and they always stay... :(
Re: red dots after vomiting
The permanent little red dots are probably cherry angionomas that are completely harmelss and increase with age - I am covered in them from pin pricks to size of a grape pip. so you probably have a combination of the two.
do you have alot of moles and skin tags as well - I do and they all go together.
The vominting will have burst little blood vessels and it could take weeks for them to fade justl ike a bruise.
Re: red dots after vomiting
countrygirl, so you don't think that because they look similar they may stay? I am really worried about this. I hope that you are right and they will fade... :(
Re: red dots after vomiting
Hey Rachel,
I get these constantly and I also bruise very easily. Mine fade completely after a while. They do almost look like freckles for a couple of days before completely fading. My doctor said this is because blood goes a darker brown when its old and its not actually a freckle. True enough some of the ones that looked like freckles before arent there any more. I had a separate issue that was causing them to get bad but I think in the majority of cases there is no explanation, some people just get them. If your worried about them or if they get bad you can get a quick blood test at the docs which would put your mind at ease, but Im sure because your mum has got them too that its probably just one of those things.
Hope that helps :)

Re: red dots after vomiting
Just to let you know that they have almost gone. Much to my relief. I have a bruise near my shoulder where my bra strap goes but this came up suddenly and is now fading. Is it true that if you bruise easily because of health issues they also take longer to heal? My body seems to heal quite quickly.
Thanks for all the support. Now if just my skin felt better and these floaters would go away I would be very happy.
