Tiny red dots on only 1 foot (doctor, symptoms, legs, how to)

[Sillysalmon]

Hello!

Several months ago tiny red dots appeared on My foot and wont go away. Anyone know what these are?
They are completely smooth, no rising,no itching,no burning,not squeezable.

I havent been in the sun and they dont seem like freckles or bug bites.
If anyone has any Idea what these are and how to get rid of them it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a picture of the dots in the link, thanks in advance.

Petechiae? Do they turn white when you press on them? Petechiae don’t turn white when you press on them.

I looked at the picture and it does look like petechiae. But it is odd to have only on one foot and for several months. Do you have any other symptoms? These can have many causes, some benign and some serious.

The only Other symptom i can think of that was in the link from the previous poster about petachiae is that Im easily bruised on My legs, but that ive been for many years way before the spots showed up. I always have atleast 1 bruise.

How old are you? This is common in older people.

Ask your doctor.

This is something that you should have a doctor look at. Petechiae can be a symptom of various health problems.

With the bruising, it sounds like you might have something like this: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20352325

^C’mon, now, we don’t diagnose people.

Your advice to see a doctor is spot on.
