Suggest Treatment For Red Blotches On Throat And Chest
Hi, i have red blotches on my throat and upper chest. And red dots on my arms and wrist, not freckles. I have had them for years. They do not itch, they seem almost like acne but they won t go away. What can I do? When I get hot, they get brighter. I would love to be able to wear a tank top without being self conscious.

Welcome to HCM.
Red blotches that you have confused with acne is probably cherry angioma. This is very common & non harmful.So don't worry. If you want to get rid of then consult a dermatologist nearby & it can be cleared with simple electrodessication.
Good luck.
