However, you should see a dermatologist if:
- The red spot grows quickly or changes color.
- It becomes painful or starts to bleed.
- You notice a sudden increase in the number of red spots.
In rare cases, these signs may indicate another skin condition that requires medical attention.
Can They Be Removed?
Yes, if their appearance bothers you. The most common treatments are:
- Electrocautery – using electrical current to remove the spot.
- Laser treatment – a precise and effective option that leaves minimal scarring.
- Cryotherapy – freezing the spot to remove it.
⚠️ Avoid trying to remove them at home. This could cause infections or scarring.
Prevention and Skin Care
While you can’t always prevent them, you can lower the risk:
- Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.
- Eat a diet rich in antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, nuts).
- Limit alcohol and tobacco.
- Monitor your skin regularly for changes.
Conclusion
Those red spots on your skin are most likely cherry angiomas—benign clusters of blood vessels. They are generally harmless and don’t require treatment unless they change in appearance or you want them removed for cosmetic reasons.
👉 When in doubt, it’s always best to consult a dermatologist.
