love bite look a like
Hi,
When I scratch my skin it looks like a love bite has appeared. Lots of little red dots form a type of circle. I mainly get it on my arm, but this time it is on my chest. Could you please tell me what it is.
Thank you.

Hi,
Petechiae are pinpoint flat round red spots under the skin surface caused by bleeding into the skin. This could be due to local injury and trauma, allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, viral infections, certain medications, and other conditions affecting the platelets in the blood stream. Try to avoid scratching or some other form of trauma to the skin. However, if this persists, it would be best to have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management.
Take care and regards.
