Small Red Bumps On Thighs, Turning Darker, Hair Growing Out Of Them. How To Get These Removed?

Dear doctor, since i was 8 i started having small red dots and bumps on my thighs and after a couple of years the small red bumps turned a bit darker. I went to my doctor and he said that there s hair growing from under and you have to push them out or just not touch them but i want to get rid of them now because its so embarrassing having to go swimming and being the only girl with this problem. So is there anything i can do?

Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

The treatment depends on the exact diagnosis and it cannot be made unless seen by the eyes.

As per your description it appears to be small haemangiomas if that it the case you can get rid of them by laser excision.

Do visit a dermatologist for the same.

Wish you good health.
