Noticing tiny red spots on your skin can feel worrying. They may show up suddenly or develop over time. Some are completely harmless, while others may point to health issues that need attention.
One common cause is cherry angiomas. These are small, bright red bumps made of blood vessels. They often appear with age and are usually harmless, though they may bleed if irritated.
Petechiae are another type, appearing as very small red or purple dots under the skin. They don’t fade when pressed and can sometimes indicate infections or blood-related conditions, so sudden cases should be checked.
