Yep. Lots. Look a bit like tiny red pen dots.

They are totally normal but see your gp if you're worried.

MiaFarrowsWheelbarrow · 21/04/2015 19:36

Yes, the very bright pink/red ones. I have them and so does DM and her sisters so presume they are hereditary? I googled them years ago and decided they were a type of varicose vein/weak cell walls. I'm covered in them but they dont bother me...

Yup. My mum has them. Her dad had them. Never thought anything of them.

RachelRedhead · 21/04/2015 19:40

Yes, I have them on my legs and boobs. They come and go, so sometimes I have more of them. Nothing to worry about.

PurpleDaisies · 21/04/2015 19:59

Exactly as you describe! Your gp wouldn't think you were time wasting if you wanted them looking at for peace of mind but they are really common and harmless.

They're Campbell De Morgan spots aka cherry angiomas. Completely harmless. Anything like a mole which is changing or growing rapidly needs to be checked though.

Akire · 21/04/2015 20:40

I've got loads, I read they are supposed go away in few weeks. Yet years later , still there! Can be annoying if get a new large one not much can do!

junemami · 21/04/2015 20:40

Or if the spots are coming up quickly over a short space of time

40slady · 21/04/2015 20:43

these are not cherry angiomas i dont think , although i have 2 of those , these are blood dots tiny like pin head flat

just to tie up my thread as hate it when a threads dangling , my doctor said not to worry and some people do get these kinds of spots and not a concern , so feel a little calmer . Flowers to all who answered .
