Red Spots I Think Are Exploded Blood Vessels

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sedgwick, ME

Does anyone else have a problem with tiny red spots like exploded blood vessels showing up? Or know the cause? I have probably a dozen, in different places, but I don't know why I'm getting them.

Might be Petichiae - usually related to auto immune conditions

Thank you. I guess I'll ask my Dr about them. It's gone from one or 2 to quite a few.

Oh.. maybe it is age. I haven't had a cigarette in 8 years, so it shouldn't be that.. I have them on my chest, my arms, my abdomen.. I hate it. One is actually puffed up off my skin and the size of a tictac..
