Tiny red pen looking dots on body

Have these popping up here and there lately. Have over ten on my abdomen area, anyone know what they could be? Can't find exact picture on Google of them.

Try googling cherry haemangioma and see if that's what you have? (Don't worry, if so they are harmless!)

There are a number of things it could be. Ds had something similar caused by echo virus. I suggest you either go to the dr or ask a pharmacist.

I have those, it looks like someone has taken a red pen to my skin. I just assumed that it was something you get as you get as you age and it appears I am right.

Cherry haemangiomas/Campbell de Morgan spots probably as AliceInSand said. Harmless. Show them to your GP next time but there's no treatment needed.

Yes showed mine to GP who just said, "yeah, they're harmless, just due to ageing".
I was 31! Now 39 and have lots more Blush

I had those after having DD, I had them zapped at a beauty salon, its a procedure like electrolysis.

I get them on my chest when I'm pregnant!

Allergic reaction to something? Do they itch?

schoolboyerror · 31/03/2015 00:01

They sound like Campbell de Morgan spots and are harmless

Greenlamp1 · 31/03/2015 22:17

Thanks so much for all of your replies. Sounds like that is what they are. From aging??!!! And I'm only 36!! They can be lasered apparently, anyone get it done? In any event, I am going to doc tomorrow to get a referral to a dermtologist to confirm.
