Little Redheads

What on earth could these tiny red spots all over my body actually signify? They don't look like typical bruises... they’re more like this vivid, cinnabar red color... does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!
And while we're at it, if anyone happens to be knowledgeable about depigmentation... I'm seeing these small white patches where the skin has lost its pigment... is there any way to stop that from happening?

Also, if anyone knows about depigmentation... those little white patches on the skin... can you prevent that?

I've got the first one too. No clue what it is, but I don't sweat it since my dad's had them for years. 🙂

The second thing sounds like vitiligo, and honestly, you probably can't stop it. 😢

I’ve got these two red spots on me now, and they’ve actually started to swell up.
They look just like birthmarks, only bright red. I went to see my dermatologist about it—she gave me some technical medical term for them, but honestly, my mind went totally blank and I didn't catch it—and her main takeaway was basically that it’s nothing to worry about and completely harmless...

🙂 Those are just death spots!!!

They're just hemangiomas—basically benign skin vascular tumors.
Don't sweat it.

Regarding the first thing, I guess you already got an answer, people usually just call them "cherry angiomas," but they basically come from broken capillaries, and what's weird is they don't go away and just pop up all over the place.

As for the small white spots, if they look like little dots, they're probably 99% fungal. It likely just stripped your pigment, so maybe just grab some Lamisil and apply it constantly. If you use it 2 or 3 times a day, it should clear up in about 2 months. Vitiligo is way more serious and incurable, so I wouldn't worry about that, since it doesn't usually show up as tiny little dots but rather larger, irregular patches.

I’ve got a few red bumps myself, and I actually just picked one off! Am I going to be okay? I heard somewhere that if you mess with a mole, it could potentially trigger cancer.
