What Do Red Blemishes Under The Skin Indicate?
HI, Now and again I get a red roundish blemish under my skin, it seems to be spontaneous, but a few times it has been caused by rose thorns. I have attributed it to takind Turmeric, that it may be thinning my blood too much ? I take it to keep inflammation at bay, and it works, but is it possible I need to take less ? and could the red blotches be from too much Turmeric? Thanks, Deborah

Red blemishes under skin is due to clogged pores of sebaceous glands , dead skin , sebum and bacteria get entrapped in it. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Maintain proper hygiene. Apply ice on skin. If condition persist for more then a month then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course.
