White Spots With Red Rash And Tiny Red Dot Seen On Arms And Hands. Is This Related To Circulation?

I have recently seen white spots developing on both my arms and hands. I only have a few on each but the one on my right hand is about the size of a small coin and when it is most noticeable it tends to have a red type rash around it. The white marks are not always there and the ones on my hands disappear when my hands are slightly raised Is this problem related to circulation?

The white spots on my arms tend to have a tiny red dot in the middle.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Welcome to HCM, although a clear picture would do justice to your case, i assume the spots that are on your arms are "Bier spots", and yea they are thought to arise due to physiologic response of small blood vessels of the skin to venous hypertension. You have not mentioned if they itch... anyway you may google for "Bier spots" you might find the answer...

Have a Great day..
