RED DOTS ON YOUR SKIN: CAUSES AND WHAT THEY MIGHT REPRESENT

RED DOTS ON YOUR SKIN: CAUSES AND WHAT THEY MIGHT REPRESENT


 Red dots form on the skin for various reasons, and while some go away on their own, some require treatment.

Some of the most common causes of red spots are allergic responses, acne residual scars, vascular birthmarks, skin spots caused by angiomas, protein overproduction, heat rash, insect bites, leaking capillaries, and autoimmune diseases

1. Petechiae & Purpura

These are little red dots on the skin caused by damaged blood vessels or capillaries. They may be caused by stress, coughing, or certain drugs. Although they are mostly harmless, they can occasionally suggest underlying platelet abnormalities.

2. Cherry Angiomas

An expansion of blood vessels causes these little, elevated, bright red lumps which are normally harmless. They typically arise in old age.

3. Heat Rash

Heat rash develops when sweat becomes caught in sweat ducts, resulting in itchy, red spots on the skin.

4. Allergic Reactions

Redness can also result from an allergic reaction to foods, chemicals, drugs, or insect stings or bites.

5. Folliculitis

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by bacterial or fungal infections that leave red, pus-filled spots on the skin that can be painful.

6. Cellulitis

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin illness that causes redness and swelling on the skin. In most cases, medical attention and antibiotic therapy are required.

7. Vasculitis

Vasculitis is an autoimmune or infection-related illness characterized by blood vessel inflammation.

8. Impetigo

Impetigo is a contagious bacterial infection that mostly affects children. It is characterized by red sores that develop, exude fluid, and eventually form crusts.

9. Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas are birthmarks caused by the abnormal development of blood vessels. While they are usually innocuous, they may require medical attention on occasion.

Some of the most often used herbs and plants can be used as home remedies to help prevent the spread of red spots and remove them.

Here are three things to try if you find red dots on your skin. Of course, it is always advisable to talk with a specialist.

The Aloe Vera treatment involves twice-daily application of a fresh aloe vera gel extract to the skin. The gel should be left for 15-20 minutes.

Another useful home remedy is to massage freshly washed skin with coconut oil. For the best benefits, leave the oil overnight. Repeat until you see any results.

Dandelion is another plant that can help with the red skin spots. Usage is as follows: Boil dandelion root powder in water, then filter and drink for detoxification.

If you detect a change in the shape of red dots or patches, visit a doctor and follow a healthy lifestyle and diet rich in fruits, vegetables, juices, and healthy fats.
