What Is The Cause Of Pinkish Red Spot?

I have about a half dollar pinkish red spot on my upper thigh. Have no idea what it is. it does not itch and i never even knew that it was there until i saw it. I don t know how long I have had it. I do have a history of psorisis, but does not look like it to me.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to cherry angiomas. They occur as a result of tiny blood vessels called capillaries bursting under the skin. They are benign and do not require any treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
