Red dots on my skin

I got a red dot on my face, right under my nose.  I thought that it was a zit.  But then it got huge and scabbed over. It started to heal and I got another weird zit on my nose and one on my lip, with in a couple of days.  I have very sensitive skin, so I thought it was just a reaction to the triple anti biotic I was using and cortizone 10.  Now this morning, I woke up with a larger, about the size of a pencil eraser, red dot on my shoulder, and it hurts.  I have patches of dry skin on my arms and legs that are about the same size, and am pretty sure that was a patch of dry skin too.  What could these be?

I have been having these markings underneath my eye for years now. I havnt seen a Dermataoligist but have seen a doctor who doesnt know what it is other than maybe broken blood vessel(small)

Anyway, These red marks are flat and do not prtrude out from the skin. They are red and you kind of can see tiny tiny blood vessels that fade out from the middle of the soar. There use to be two but now in the same area under my left eye there is three. But now I noticed one to the left of my nose only this one seems to elevate from the skin just a hair and doesnt look exactly like the other ones although I think thats how the other ones looked when they first started about gosh, maybe 10 years ago already!

Im going to make an appointment with my doctor and get on the long waiting list for the dermatoligist, but meanwhile If anyone has any ideas or has had something like this ,please let me know. Thanks alot.

Hi,
A clinical evaluation would be required before a confirmed diagnosis is made. You need to consult a dermatologist and ask what she / he thinks it could possibly be. Keep the area clean. You would be given some topical application medicated creams by the skin specialist. Goodluck.

Hi,

These rashes could be due to antibiotic that your are taking. I would advice you to use a herbal cleansar for your skin and keep your skin moisturised at all times.If you do not feel better please consult a dermatologist.
