Red dots that bleed under skin

[BallofStress]

I’m a 21 year old male. For about 4 months now I’ve had a weird condition on my fingers and occasionally my hands. Long story short there’s red dots on my skin that appear and if I press on them they bleed, the blood doesn’t come out of my skin but tends to bleed under my skin. Sometimes it looks like a rash but it doesn’t not hurt or itch and I don’t notice it happening. I’ll also pinch a random spot on my hand or fingers and it will appear. What could this be? Sometimes I don’t worry about it but sometimes it drives me crazy.

Hello~ This sounds very similar to petechiae which is a small red or purple spot on the skin caused by a minor bleed from broken capillary blood vessels. One thing that can help the capillaries is the citrus bio-flavonoid vitamin, a relative of Vitamin C. Taken together strengthens those capillaries and the bruising/under-skin bleeding should stop.

If they don't clear up or you get more, then I suggest seeing your doctor for some blood work to rule out any serious issues that could be causing the problem.

Sounds like petechiae (a small red or purple spot on the skin caused by a minor bleed from broken capillary blood vessels). Causes are numerous but include injury, allergic reaction, blood infections, autoimmune disorders, medication side effects.
