39 y/o male myself. I have noticed quite similar condition this summer. I have 6-8 tiny red dots in both my arms. Also have two cherry angiomas on my shoulder and 5 or so in my chest. Have noticed the ones on my arms this summer. I also found one just above my knee and another above my ankle, very small they are.
My wife also has a couple of cherry angiomas on her body, but none on arms or legs.
If you have some more info on them, I would like to hear it too.
Hi,
I have rashes on my legs, ankles, knees, tighs and a few on my arm and hands. it is very ichy. they apear like hard bumps under the skin and itches very badly. it is three days I have the problem. the number is not increasing or spreading to other parts of the body. but it is persistant. I used some cortizone creme thinking it would be gone if it is insect bite or alergy. at the mean time I had a suspecisous sexual encounter a year ago. could it be sign of HIV or what?
I will do so and thanks for the input.

I think these are probably more angiomas, which can be small at times, just as you describe. I doubt that they represent anything serious. I'd show your doctor next time you go, but I can't imagine that you'll have to do anything about them.
Take care.
