Pink dots?

[BadW0lf]

throughout my life i have had teeny tiny pink specks appear on my skin. they are pale, not raised or itchy, and they never come in groups. its always one small individual one on my hand or arm, then it goes away after a while.

it isnt a rash or bug bites, its very small and hard to see. it think they are quite common because i have seen them on many other people.

it isnt anything like keretosis or petechie, just little pink pinprick sized specks, almost under the skin. not raised or itchy, like i said.

any idea?

it is NOR petechia. there is no trauma, no bleeding. it is none of the things you suggested.

it is a tiny oink mark. its a single, non-bloody, non-itchy, NON-RASHLIKE in any way.

it is not something that requires treatment or help, its just something i have seen on everyone and am curious as to what it is...

i wish i could explain it.

Hello,
It can be due to petechiael spots. They are common after skin trauma and viral infections. They should go away in a few days. But if they persist then please consult a physician and get other causes ruled out which include allergic reaction, autoimmune diseases, thrombocytopenia, ITP or leukemias.

My sincere advice is to get it examined from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
