Red dots on the legs - is it dangerous?

When we find out on our bodies where the spot suddenly comes from, it worries us. And not in vain: it is with the formation of red spots and points that most dermatological diseases begin, and, besides this, they can also testify to the presence in the body of other pathologies, not of a dermatological nature. It is important only to distinguish the common trail from the bite of a mosquito or a bug or a simple pimple from a dangerous red spot - the first symptom of a dermatological or other disease. The trace of the bite itches, but if you do not touch it, it quickly disappears. If you press the pimple, then there is a slight pain, then the pimple ripens and disappears by itself. If the red spot exists on the body for several days and does not pass, but only increases in size - this is already an occasion to consult a dermatologist.

But sometimes we find small blood spots on our bodies (mostly on our legs, but also on our arms and torso), as if a drop of blood appeared on the skin as a result of the injection. If you have such red points on your legs, and they persist for a long time, you can assume that these are red moles, which in scientific circles are called hemangiomas. From ordinary birthmarks and pigmented spots, hemangioma differs intensely with red or crimson (sometimes pink) color. He does not ache and does not itch. If you press the red mole finger, it will turn pale, and after a couple of seconds will take its usual bright color.

What are the dangers of blood spots on the body? The fact that unlike ordinary moles is a benign vascular tumor. Until it manifests itself in any way - it does not grow, does not deepen, as long as such points are single, you should not worry. And the more you can not try to remove such moles yourself. Sometimes from red dots, like rays, red threads diverge. In this case we are dealing with arachnid or stellate hemangioma. If there are no rays, this is a spot hemangioma.

Why red dots appear on their feet, has not yet been fully studied. They appear regardless of age, even in babies. But in the case of the appearance of red dots in children, this trouble disappears by 6-7 years by themselves. But if you notice such a spot of blood near the baby next to the eye, nose or genitals, it is better to remove it. Remove those spots that are beginning to increase. This procedure is performed by a dermatooncologist.

In adults, red dots on the legs may appear for completely different reasons. Often they occur in people with hormonal disorders, in those suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia. Red moles can indicate violations in the liver and pancreas. And can be a consequence of frequent sunburn. But if we want to understand the cause of red moles on the body, we must undergo a long and thorough medical examination.

But if the red dots on the legs do not cause any discomfort, it is better not to touch them. Remember: a benign tumor should not be bothered unnecessarily, because there is a risk that it will change its nature and grow into a serious cancer. It is not necessary to cauterize blood points in cosmetic cabinets with liquid nitrogen - these blood points, though they can slightly rise above the smooth skin, have nothing to do with warts. Self-removal of red moles at home will only cause bleeding, which will be difficult to stop.

To remove red dots on hands and a body is better at the expert-dermatoonkologa a method of laser surgery. The doctor examines the birthmark and after the tests will tell if it is dangerous or not. Having studied the specifics of the birthmark, the doctor can refer you to the appropriate specialist to, first of all, cure the disease - the cause of the birthmark, and not a symptom. In addition to the laser, the sclerosis of the vessel's channel and the X-ray therapeutic method are widely used for the correction of moles.
