Red spots on the skin: what do they mean?

Is it dangerous?

No, these small angiomas do not pose  any health risks . They are  benign, painless , and do not cause itching or inflammation. The only real drawback is  aesthetic . On the back, chest, or sometimes on the face, they can become embarrassing, especially in intimate situations or when they are very visible.

Can we make them disappear?

Yes, and that’s  great news . These hair angiomas can be treated by a dermatologist using  medical lasers . According to the  French Society of Dermatology , dermatological lasers are commonly used to treat  skin spots, scars, or superficial wrinkles .

The treatment is generally  quick, not very painful , and leaves  no visible scars . It is performed primarily for aesthetic reasons, because, remember, these spots  do not pose a medical problem .

Once treated, will they come back?

Yes… and no.  A removed spot does not come back , but others may appear elsewhere over time. This is a natural phenomenon linked to  skin aging , like the appearance of wrinkles or white hair: they can be reduced, but not completely prevented.
