Asked By:sibyllebear in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
In my 30's ive developed flat pinprick dots like cherry angiomas all over my body, hard to capture with a photo but it looks like red sand dusted all over my skin when you look close. I curse use of tanning beds. I can't find a name for this as it doesnt look the same as petichiae, so I would love to know a name and also what treatments would help this, since it's a different situation than classic cherry angioma removal where they are few and far between.
