Nowadays people usually ask for helpto specialists only after they feel incredibly ill. Busy representatives of the fair sex generally do not pay attention to such manifestations as red spots on the body. Family, husband, children, career and other problems distract our attention from the first symptoms of serious diseases. But still, if you notice such formations on the body, you should immediately find out why they appeared, make a diagnosis, and then learn everything about how to treat them.

Red dots: the reasons for the appearance

• Damage to the skin

Sometimes red spots form on the skin afterhow you injured it. For example, you could have removed body hair the day before (epilated, shaved or depilated your legs, arms, bikini area). Small spots will appear where the hair was plucked or cut. It's okay, they will go away soon. The main thing is not to use alcohol-containing lotions, creams, tonics, etc. cosmetic products. It is recommended to steam the skin before starting hair removal, making hot compresses. If possible, it is better to choose a more gentle method for fighting hair growth. To prevent ingrown hairs from appearing in the treated area in the future, also do a peeling (special products are sold in stores, but you can also make them yourself).

• Lack of Vitamin

If you find red spots on your body,Perhaps your body lacks regular vitamin K or ascorbic acid. As a result, due to vitamin deficiency, the vessels become thin, fragile, and the capillaries easily break and get damaged, it is enough to hit the skin lightly. After this, microhemorrhage occurs, and a brownish dot forms on the surface. With a severe lack of vitamins, capillaries can be injured even without any special reason. A couple of days after their appearance, the defects disappear on their own. But those who still do not want to constantly walk around with such spots on their body should be treated. Most often, this is faced by representatives of the fair sex who are constantly on diets, starving, do not know how to properly compose their diet or are fond of only fried foods. You need to eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible, eat citrus fruits. Also, if your diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will prescribe a course of vitamins. After a couple of months, if you follow the doctor's recommendations, the problem will disappear.

• Hemangioma

Hemangioma is a pretty serious cause,why you should go to the clinic. A benign vascular tumor will not go away on its own. No, it does not pose any danger to your life, as, in principle, do moles. It just looks aesthetically unsightly. But they can grow up to a couple of centimeters in diameter. But usually they do not exceed 2-3 mm. How to diagnose a hemangioma? Examine the dots. There should be few of them, plus they do not spread throughout the body, but grow in a certain area. Usually, these formations protrude slightly above the skin and are bright in color. If you accidentally damage the spot, blood will flow (naturally, you should not do this on purpose). Unfortunately, you will not be able to get rid of this trouble on your own. You will have to resort to the help of a surgical scalpel, laser or coagulator. If the red dots on the skin are quite large, scars may remain on the body after their removal.
