It sounds like you might have a low platelet level. Please tell your doctor about these spots ASAP.

Don't worry. I had acne all over my face. Yeah I was traumatised and wouldn't leave the house much, I was also depressed. Then i finally got the medical help i needed and everything is lovely now. Hardly any spots and a sexy boyfriend too. You should go to the docs and ask for something. They do various lotions and creams and tablets and things, and are, in my experience, very helpful. Now, to actually answer your question. Spots are natural so don't worry. If the person cant see past a few spots then they are going to have to cut out most of the population from their 'potential partners' list. However, if you are spotty because you just don't wash enough, or wash properly. I have no sympathy for you :-P It's hard to answer your question because some people have specific things they just aren't attracted to, like erm, a certain hair colour or something. Some people (especially those who don't have perfect skin themselves) won't be bothered by a whole army of spots camped out on your body, whilst others just won't like it. My bf gets bad spots on his back, and I squeeze them as punishment when he misbehaves, so I'm glad he has a few, because it gives me a way to keep him in line! Apologies for the waffling, I've had 3 cups of coffee this hour! x

Did this pleanty of times.  If you can see the spine, try to get it out...pain might be involved.  You can just squeeze them out.  Put antibiotic cream on the spots.

maybe a cyst.  does it look like a red, swollen pimple?  stick it with a pin and see if pus comes out.  If it does, it's a cyst and you need to see a doctor to get it out.

I've heard put toothpaste on and leave it overnight, lemon juice is supposed to take out the redness. And coverup of course. Good Luck.

You might have Vitiligo.  If that is the case those spots will get worse in the sun.  Make sure that you put a good sunscreen on.  SPF 50 or higher and try to stay out of direct sunlight.  Go out when the sun is not super bright.  Here is a website that can give you more information.

What you describe could be a skin infection, "white heads" or other skin problems.  You can try to use a benzoil peroxide topical cream or wash and see if that helps. Soap or acne preparations containing salicylic acid might also be of benefit. It might take several days or weeks for these options to help clear your skin up, if they are going to help.\n\nUnfortunatly, if it is some type of infection, there are few effective OTC medications avalible and might require an Rx antibiotic to resolve the problem. \n\nOnly a doctor or other medical professonal can diagnose this problem for you.  If it becomes worse, spreads, or is of concern to you please seek medical treatment.

If they are on the back of your arms they might be sunspots. I have the same problem. Wash them regularly but do not scrub them (they will get irritated and get worse). I started using my oil of olay lotion on them a few months ago and it seems to have smoothed them out a bit and they arent so red. Also use sunscreen when you are out. Dont be afraid to wear tank tops. The more confident you are the better you will feel about yourself. And T shirts arent that great for a woman.

I did some research and it appears it might be the result of a medical condition: \nA group of disorders characterised by reddish-brown spots or patches. They are caused by the leakage of blood through the tiny capillaries the skin. Hence, it is also called capillaritis. The red colour is due to the blood pigment, haemosiderin. Exactly why the capillaries should become leaky is not known for certain but a hypersensitivity reaction to viral infection, food additives and medications have been cited. A type of pigmented purpuric dermatosis named Schamberg's disease (progressive pigmented purpura) \nSymptoms: Flat red brown patches with rust coloured spots that look like cayenne pepper on the outside. No itching caused.\n I hope this is helpful.

sounds like a common skin fungus.\ntry Tinactin Pump Spray. It's over the counter and cost about 5 bucks or less.  Read all the Label.  It should clear up in a day or two if not see a doc.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?
