What Are The Red Clustered Dots That Appeared After Weight Lifting Exercises ?
i worked out and did some lifting which involved putting weight on my shoulders. When I got home i noticed red spots, they were clustered around there. I would like to mention i have a 2nd degree burns on the area that the red spots appear on. What are these dots and should I stop doing that exercise?

Hi im dr.hema
It is not uncommon to have several tiny red dots on skin after a gym work out, its due to damage to your blood vessels or capillaries by strenuous activity.
The spots fade to brown within a few days and eventually disappear. A burning sensation may or may not occur as the new lesions
They disappear within a few weeks, recur from time to time, or frequently persist for years.
If u feel more pain or any signs of allergy or infection and
In doubt or not sure about the condition have a evaluation with your physician.
Hope the information z useful.
Thank u
