I have found very tiny red dots on the tops of my arms and a few on my tummy. Had these with a previous medication. Has anyone else had these and if so with which meds?

" be careful with rashes
if you think it may be a drug rash you should see your doc!
its hard to tell what exactly youre talking about with these red dots... do they itch? burn?
could also be due to change in weather, laundry detergent, soap, fabric
the mayo clinic has a good rash reference page

hope that helps "

" Hey I would call a doctor too, although I have heard of people having a rash with Fibro, I used to brake out when I used the fetenal patch, so they took me off of it thank -God cus those patches made me feel so messesd up. I couldn't sleep butI felt like I was looking in a telescope backwards and I had no sence of deep perseption! I was really glad to get off them. "

" Thanks, these aren't like a rash, they're like little burst blood vessles that are scattered around my arms, they aren't close together and they cause no pain at all. I did ask my nurse on a recent visit when i went for blood tests and she didn't have a clue??? "

" Yes however I wasn't diaganosed yet and wasn't on any medication. Kinda freaked me out. I asked doc about them and all I got was "Don't worry about it" Just little blood vessels. Yeah whatever I still wonder about them. Sorry I wasn't any help but I do get them from time to time. "

" Yes I have them, infact they scared me do to my son had similar ones and was diagnosed with HS Purperpria ( sp )Which by the way I may be saying it wrong . And almost died from it.

Any ways , I asked my doctor she said those red dots like raised red ink marks ( blood dots ) most people get them as they get older. NOthing to worry about......" still worried, have more of them " "

" Yes, I have. They are not close enough together to be classified as a rash. I thought it was old age! "

I can't make them bleed and they don't itch. "
