I have these weird spots...

Me On Christmas Day Asked by rachelchunter 8 months ago, 4 answers.

I have loads of spots on my arms and chest. They're as small as a pin-prick (if not, then smaller). They seem to be under the skin, unlike acne spots. They're also blood red. If I press down on them with my finger, the colour fades for a few seconds...

before coming back. The spots don't hurt or itch or anything. It's just that I've had these weird spots since last year and more of them keep appearing. I haven't been to a doctor because no one seems too concerned about it. They admit that they don't know what it is though. Could this be a lot more serious? I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but I've never had this before and certainly not for 5 or 6 months. Is it worth going to the doctor about?

It could be just prickly heat or a heat rash.

Unless it's painful or itching, I wouldn't worry too much. Your body has a definite way of telling you when something is wrong.

Yeah it could be many things. I am surprised the doctors don't know! years of training and hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and they don't know! Ask them to refer you to a dermatologist or specialist. If it was prickly heat surely they would know what that looks like?! It is quite common.
