Though I like to be conscious of what’s happening with my body and ready to contact a doctor should I find anything that seems to point to an unexplainable shift, call me excessively cautious or obsessive.

You can just image how startled I was to see one morning that my shoulder was covered in red spots. As is so often the case these days, I turned right away to the internet to see what type of answer I might find.

Red dots on the skin also occur somewhat often. Actually, there are multiple reasons for this; hence, I thought it would be helpful to post them here for anyone maybe facing the same problem.

Red dots on the skin can have a vast spectrum of sizes, forms, and hues, and their connotations are also somewhat varied. While some have totally benign reasons, others could have more harmful ones.
