My red dots aren't painful but they appeared when rsd started. They look like blood blisters. Sometimes they'll turn into sores on me. I notice I get a lot of them, when my pain goes up or when I'm on my feet a lot, sometimes both. I occasionally get them on my fingers too. They are their one for a few days and then gone, then come back, rinse, repeat. lol

Hugs,

bobber,

You said "little red dots." I get dots that are not much larger than a pencil point - maybe like a freckle. They happen on my leg and foot, where I have the RSD. It seems that they are more numerous during a flare-up. I have heard of others here that get even larger sores - about the size of a dime.

Mainly watch that they don't become open wounds. Like any other wound, be careful about cleanliness and watching for infection.

Are they a result of diminished blood flow or something else altogether? Or are they another of the 'black box mysteries' the docs don't know about?

I get two kinds of little red dots. (lrds)
The ones on my legs, seem to be where I have lost hair, what's left of a hair follicle.
I have one or two that have gotten worse, and appeared to be like a pimple. I cover them with a band aid, and use neosporin, but they still leave a small but nasty scar..

Then, I have the ones that appear like little blisters. Usually around or between my toes.
They appear to be the ones like Karen says, rinse, repeat, so forth...

My Doctor, tells me it is "Classic RSD". Took pictures.
But, there is no know treatment or cure, we're on our own, and to tell them what works best!
I've tried,
anti perspirant,
powders,
lotions
almost everything, but, honestly haven't kept up with say, use alcohol on one leg, and powder on the other.
Never done a real "test".

Anyone know of something that definitively works?

Hi Bobber,
Besides the good information you have already received, I believe in the past 6-8 monrha there was some good info on red dots on this forum. I remember, because it was at the same time as I got a couple lesions with infection on the back of one leg. They took a long time to heal. Some of my red dots eventually turned into permanent browish-grayish raised moles. The itching was terrible I have full body RSD, so I had the Red Dots
in my scalp on down to my legs.
It's important to protect ourselves in the heat. So I put a high protective sun lotion on before going out. We live in Arizona. I have gotten rashes before from just being in the sun.
Take care, and really be careful to keep them from being infected. Take care, loretta

lots and lots and lots of rubbing acohol lots no creams

Ya Know what?
I thought ya'll said RED DRESS! (Not red dots).

So, I wore a RED Dress around for a few days....

It did nothing for the pain or anything else, but,

it did get some whistles and odd stares....


ooooops, is that not what we were talkin' bout?

Is that too much fun to have?

Love ya'll!
