Over the past two months ive gotten red pinsized dots on my arms and thighs ...and on the palm of my hand 3 pinsized brown dots under the skin was wondering if anyone knew what causes these...oh and the red dots dissappear when pressure is applied then pop right back up and they flat

Ya, I have the same thing. Did some research on "cherry angiomas" and found out that most likely that's what I have and so do you.. In time they'll get bigger and raise a little. There are online treatments out there to rid of these small red dots in weeks. But if I were you, I would just go to the Doc's and have them recommend what type of otc meds to use to self treat or have them do it.. No worries it's not a life threatening ordeal..

Hello,

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to cherry angiomas,folliculitis,contact dermatitis,sweat dermatitis,heat rash or dermatitis. Cherry angiomas are made up of clusters of tiny capillaries at the surface of the skin, forming a small round dome ("papule"), which may be flat topped.

When they first develop, they may be only a tenth of a millimeter in diameter and almost flat, appearing as small red dots.Pls don’t worry as they are harmless.

Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion or Neosporin cream on the spots as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin if the bumps itch.
If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.

Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
