(Concern) A red spot that wasn't there before? Is it skin cancer?

I am looking at the mirror, but

Red spots on the non-modern skin, gasp!!!!!!!!

Why does a red spot (red protruding spot) appear?

 

 

In my case, I think it's a slight protruding red spot, right?

 

 

Red spots first started appearing around my neck and collarbone area, then

Now, a very small dot is starting to appear on my arm again.

 

What is the nature of these red spots?

A mole is usually brown or black, isn't it?

 

When I was young, my grandmother used to say that the red dot is a reincarnation point. Haha.

Aha~ I thought I would get a red dot if I were reincarnated as a human again.

I have this memory, but Grandma Deok-geon just says it jokingly, haha.

 

These days, there are really many different biases and medical terms with difficult names.

 

The red dots that didn't exist before are small dots around the wrist.

There seems to be a slight protrusion in the area of the neck and the styloid process.

 

 

 

 

In case you're wondering if it's some kind of skin disease, I looked into it.

 

The red spots that appear on the skin are called cherry angiomas.

 

They are small, protruding dots about 1mm in size, and during the skin aging process, the skin's elastic fiber function

They say that if it falls, some of the dermal blood vessels protrude and become visible.

 

Things that cannot be considered aging include genetics or excessive proliferation of capillaries.

It is said that these red spots can occur.

Since it is not a large tumor, there are no abnormalities or major issues with health, but...

If a wound occurs in that area, the capillaries may also be damaged, leading to bleeding.

 

 

It doesn't matter where it can be covered with clothes, but

If it appears cosmetically unappealing, there are methods to remove cherry hemangiomas.

 

 

 

🔸Vascular Laser

A method that selectively removes excessively proliferated capillaries.

 

🔸Carbon dioxide laser

A method of removing cherry hemangioma lesions by burning the entire surface area of the affected site.

 

 

 

Infants and young children are called strawberry hemangiomas. 

 

It is characterized by a clear boundary with other skin and a protruding, raised appearance.

 

Strawberry hemangiomas appear at birth or within a few weeks after birth.

It appears in 10-12% of infants within the first year of age.

By the age of one, strawberry hemangiomas gradually increase in size.

They say it starts to get smaller after 12 to 18 months.

 

 

It seems like there might be pain externally, but

Generally, naturally without pain or discomfort

Most cases tend to disappear.

Children mainly appear around the face and neck area.

It is said that the incidence rate in females is about three times higher than in males, and most naturally by the age of 10.

It seems that it often disappears, so you probably don't need to worry too much.

 

However, if the baby experiences pain or bleeding,

When signs of infection appear, near the eyes or when changing the diaper

In cases where it occurs on a specific site, inside an organ, or if it is excessively large or visually problematic

In cases where it occurs, it could be a real health or psychological issue, so you should definitely see a dermatologist.

 

 

In my case, I can cover it with clothing, and I also have the option of laser treatment for cherry hemangiomas.

It's a case where it can be removed very simply.

However, there are cases where these red spots require management.

 

 

 

There are various types even of red spots.

 

🔷Spider Rebellion

 

It starts with a red dot about 1mm in size and refers to a pattern that resembles a network of tiny blood vessels, probably like a spider web or a fan-shaped appearance.

When examined close to the skin surface, it is composed of capillaries extending outward, with a red dot visible at the center.

In such cases, they tend to disappear on their own, and they can be removed through electric coagulation or laser treatment.

 

 

🔷Subepithelial Hemorrhage

 

Petechial hemorrhage is a small bleeding mark less than 1-2mm in size on the skin and mucous membranes.

It is said to be a temporary bleeding caused by strong pressure or capillary rupture due to blood clotting abnormalities.

Something that appears on the face is especially around the eyes, caused by severe coughing or vomiting, which concentrates pressure on the face.

It is said that there are many cases where it occurs.

It gradually disappears in about 2 to 3 weeks, but if it doesn't, they say you must definitely have a platelet test.

 

 

 

Purpura

 

It appears as red spots or bruises on the skin, caused by bleeding underneath the skin, ranging from very small to large.

They say there are various types up to 2.5cm. The characteristic is that even when pressed, the red dot either becomes faint or does not disappear.

The most common type is senile purpura, where the tissues supporting the blood vessels under the skin weaken, making them easily damaged.

It is said that it occurs quite frequently.

If you have a fever along with various sizes, you should go to the hospital immediately.

In some cases, it disappears on its own after a while, and sometimes it's okay to just leave it alone without any concern.

However, if you miss the timing, you will face a serious illness.

The timing for tests and treatments doesn't seem to be fixed or predetermined.

 

Casually looking at the mirror

Huh? Why did a red dot appear?

Look into the red spot, and beyond what I know as well.

It has become a time to know more.
