Small red dots on skin: cause of point bleeding
-
Small, red or purple dots or dots on the skin of 0.5 to 1 mm, can indicate a skin bleeding caused by a very small superficial bruise: a so-called 'petechia', plural 'petechi'. This skin bleeding will lead to red, purple or brown spots, sometimes in clusters, and it often looks like a rash but it isn't. These point bloodlines do not fade under pressure on the skin. Usually these little red dots or spots on the skin are not itchy and flat. The difference with a bruise is that the bleeding in petechi is more superficial in the skin. You can find the small red dots or spots on the arms, legs, chest, face, or other parts of the body. Treatment of spot or blood spots depends on the underlying cause of petechi.
