What exactly are these red spots?
Doctors say these red spots are called “ruby nevus” and usually appear on the chest and arms, and are quite common in people over forty, but can also appear in adolescence.
These spots are actually dilated capillaries that occur due to an error in the vascular system. They appear on many parts of the body or in a specific area. In these cases, however, special attention is required, as they can develop into small, benign tumors.
How do spots appear?
According to dermatologist Ramón Grimalt, these spots are actually a sign of skin aging, and have nothing to do with the sun, but are hereditary. Take a look at your father or mother, if they have a lot of these red spots, you will have them too.
