since having dd 2 i've noticed general aging/ changing of my skin, but in particular, i've developed a few tiny red raised moles, a bit like miniature strawberry marks. has anyone else experienced this or know what they are?

i've got lots of these, like tiny broken veins under the skin (small red splotches?) i can't remember what they're called

DH has lots; the doc said they were nothing to worry about.

I had a couple on my hands when I was a kid but just looked now and they're not there anymore. They were tiny and red, just like a freckle really - is that the same kind of thing? No idea what they were though, sorry

mine are like actual moles, though. they are little bumps the size of a freckle, not blotches or veins. i never used to have them. they're very strange..

There are called Campbell de morgan spots (or something like that) DP had some lasered off his face..........so vain!!

I've always had a few although I think some have sprung up over the last few years. Campbell de morgans, yes. What a stupid name! DD1 was born with a couple but hers disappeared after a month or so.

thanks for that- nice to give it as name, will search on line for more info.

I've got a couple which I didn't have before (am 31 btw).

My mum has one or two as well.

Nice to know they've got a name

I have lots, but then I also have loads of moles, freckles, white spots & skin tags - I have strange skin!

I have a couple - according to netdoctor they are also known as cherry angiomas

noonar · 18/08/2006 19:42

have done a bit of research, they are also known as senile angioma- how lovely, because they are common over 40!!!! senile- i ask you! i am 34 and have had them a year or so.
