What Does A Small Reddish Spot On The Chest Suggest?

About 1 1/2 years ago I got a small reddish blotch on my chest area, Noticed it more after I showered IT has never went away and has since gotten larger actually looks like a baby s foot, and there are new spots appearing a little higher up. I am getting more concerned since it is spreading but there only brighter red once I take a shower. they don t itch, hurt nothing its just there. I was at the doctors awhile back an showed him an he said as long as it doesn t bother you theres nothing to worry about. What type of doctor should I see for this if any at all. Thank you, Terra

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a hemangioma. It is nothing but an abnormal dilation of a blood vessel. Consult a vascular surgeon and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
