Tiny pin-prick red blood spots on skin..

Anyone else have these? or know what they could be?
Ive had them for years they don't hurt or anything and can only see them if you look carefully. They are like tiny spots of blood - when trying to scratch away the blood comes back in 1-2 seconds?
i've counted on one arm and there is about 35 - they are quite spread out.

I have them too, I don't think it's a problem unless there are loads of them. I've heard they are from burst capillaries, not sure if it's true though.

likely to be a small haemangioma, almost always completely benign and nothing to worry about

You guys just bumped a old thread, nice one lol.

Meh op if you still come on then i think they are probably those hair trap things when the hairs trying to grow out but is trapped under the skin which creates a collection of bacteria which leads to something else causing a mini zit, which you pop and blod comes out :tongue:

I get those sometimes, and while I'm not sure what they are/why they're there, I've noticed it tends to happen when I get really stressed out. So maybe that's it? But I'm not a doctor by any means, if it worries you you should go to the GP :smile:

I have three on my fingers (on the palm side), so it can't be anything to do with hair. When I scratch off the surface of them (not intentionally) then it hurts quite a bit, like an achy pain. Does no one else get this?
Oh and they have been there for years.

They are probably just burst capillaries. It's nothing to worry about.

I've got these too, my doctors said they is no treatment for them and that they are harmless. He said they're due to friction on the skin so maybe jackets? I was worried at first about them but after seeing this topic and seeing my dr I feel better about them.
