What Causes Tiny Red Dots Throughout Body?
Hi i have very tinny blood dots spread out all over my body, i have no idea what it is. They are not bumps as they are under my skin but they are quite noticeable if you look closely. Do you know what it is, what causes it to appear and how to get rid of it?

Hi,
These may be subcutaneous petechial hemorrhages. If you are taking some blood thinner, consult your doctor for reducing your dose or completely stopping it. Get your complete blood count, particularly platelets count done as low platelet count may be a reason of this. You also need to be tested for blood coagulation disorders starting from bleeding time and clotting time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
