Doctors warn that tiny red dots on the skin, known as petechiae, may look harmless but can signal underlying health issues. These small, bright red spots result from blood vessel bursts under the skin and often appear suddenly on the arms or hands.
While usually caused by minor injuries, coughing, or straining, petechiae can also indicate serious conditions like blood clotting disorders, infections, allergies, or blood vessel inflammation. If these dots spread quickly, multiply, or are accompanied by symptoms like bruising, bleeding, fever, or fatigue, medical attention is essential.
Although many cases resolve on their own, ignoring persistent or worsening spots can hide underlying health problems. Seek medical advice if you notice rapid spreading, persistent redness, or related symptoms such as dizziness or weakness.
To stay vigilant, monitor your skin, avoid unnecessary strain, maintain good hygiene, and consult a healthcare provider if concerned. Early diagnosis and treatment can address underlying issues effectively…
