WTH are these dots?!
 
Posting this here, because I don't think it's related to MS (or maybe it is?), but I noticed on the upper parts of my arms (shoulder area), 1 spot in my ribcage area, I have these red 'dots' on my skin. Not a rash, not painful, don't move around, and they're 'scattered' (none in a clump). They look more like blood blisters. I have a couple on my hands that I have had since I was a kid.

What could they be from? Are these 'normal'? I can snap a picture with the digital camera later if need be to show what I'm talking about.

It could be patiki eye which are small red bumps usually from some form of trauma like squeezing. Or it could be small red moles. I have a few of those and seem to be getting more as I age. They are spread out and flat, no pain or itch.

Hrm, this makes more sense, and sounds like what mine resemble! Do you have many brown etc moles? I have a lot of moles over my body.

Look up pics of cherry red spots. Maybe that's what it is. They're cherry angiomas. ;)

Yes, I have a ton of them and have since I was born. If they are blistery the cheery angiomas that Gazelle said sounds more like what it may be. If they are flat and red, it sounds more like the ones I have.

LOL Your going to get a lot of ideas on this one! LOL

Yeah I looked at this, and I do believe this is what they are:

I'll ask my GP on the 2nd when I see her, but as I say I've had them for years now. Certainly not the worse condition involving the liver that I read about, I have my liver checked monthly :p

What Sandy said though, mine are not 'bulbous', they're flat. :) Tiny too. Some are barely noticeable unless you look close up.

I just read that the cheery angiomas can be flat and barely raised above the skin. Hmmm, maybe mine aren't moles? LOL Thanks Gazelle!
