The appearance of our skin, its condition is often an image of our health, the condition of our body. When should we worry and go to a dermatologist for a check-up, and when, for example, red dots on the body do not have to worry us? What is the treatment if red dots appear on the body?
Many changes to our skin are the result of improper care. In other cases, for example, red dots on the body may suggest that a disease process is beginning in our body. That is why it is so important to control all skin changes on our body.
Red dots on the body – what they mean
At the beginning, it is worth considering where the red dots on the body come from. Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear why the red dots on the body appear in different places on our skin. According to dermatologists, they have a genetic basis, and they also occur in people who do not lead a healthy lifestyle.
The red dots on the body are in most cases called hemangiomas. What are hemangiomas? They are neoplastic tumors, but of mild course, formed by abnormally developed blood vessels. They do not pose a threat to health, and even more so to life, but if we have doubts, it is worth signing up for a check-up visit to a dermatologist. It also happens, of course, that the red dots on the body are malignant hemangiomas, for example, we can deal with malignant hemangioma (where an additional symptom is nose bleeding), red dots on the body are a symptom of Kaposi’s sarcoma (red changes appear on the feet and hands ), this symptom is produced by hemangiosarcoma, which affects internal organs.
Red dots on the body, most of which are hemangiomas, appear on the shoulders and arms. Particularly disturbing are the red dots on the body that appear around the mouth and eyes.
Are you seeing disturbing symptoms? Analyze them yourself in the medical questionnaire and decide whether to go to the doctor.
There is also a condition called stellate hemangioma in dermatology. These are vascular changes in the form of tiny red dots with branches that radiate outward. They are most often diagnosed in young women on the upper torso or face. In older women, these kinds of red dots on the body show up during pregnancy. They can also be a symptom of liver problems, e.g. cirrhosis of the liver.
Red dots on the body – treatment
Red dots on the body, accompanied by soreness or itching, should be diagnosed by a dermatologist. The type of treatment depends, of course, on the type of disease or ailments. When the red dots on the body grow larger, the dermatologist should make a referral to a surgeon or oncologist surgeon. The red dots on the body can be removed with a scalpel or laser. Cryotherapy, i.e. freezing lesions, is a less invasive method.
Changes that result from improper skin care can be reduced with properly selected cosmetics that are available in drugstores, but with frequent return of dots, it is worth getting the preparations available in pharmacies. It is worth supporting the external treatment with internal treatment, i.e. oral agents. However, it should be remembered that each treatment taken must be consulted with the attending physician, who will suggest what the patient should take, in what doses and for some time.
