Suggest Remedy For Red Spots On Stomach And Chest
I noticed some red spots on my stomach and chest a few days ago. They don t itch. The red spots aren t raised, but some of them have white in the middle. I ve gotten a few more since I noticed them. I haven t gone swimming anywhere. I did switched body washes, but I m gonna try my old body wash to see if that s what it is. Can you tell me what they are?

Hi,
You seem to have cherry angioma most probably. Do not worry. These are the benign lesions consisting proliferated capillaries in the dermis. They may be idiopathic or secondary to some diseases..like obesity,DM,dyslipidemias, liver diseases..etc
You consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.
You need not require any treatment.if it is embarrassing, the lesions may be removed by electrocautery under local anaesthesia.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
