Red spots on the skin: what do they mean?

When should you consult a dermatologist?

You may consider a consultation if:

  • Spots appear in  large numbers or very suddenly
  • They  change shape or color
  • They become  painful or irritating
  • Or simply if you wish to have them removed for  aesthetic reasons or personal comfort
