Are Tiny Red Spots On Upper Arm And Chest Suggestive Of Leukemia?
Hi, I have random tiny tiny red flecks ( pin head size dots ) on my body. 1 on my upper arm & a couple on my chest. On really close inspection I can see a few more but I have to look really up close. I also have one on each leg. They are flat & not above the surface. I m worried as someone said this could be a symptom of leukemia. I only noticed this a few days ago so they could have been there a long time. Could this be a symptom of leukaemia? I feel perfectly fine in myself and have no swollen lymph nodes or glands & no tiredness or weighty loss. I can t think of any other reason this would happen. I m 31.

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Your symptoms doesn't suggest you have leukaemia. Spots could be because of various causes like allergy,insect bite,.. If you have leukaemia then you will have many other symptoms like fever, Increased white blood cells, decreased platelets, Increased spleen and liver size.
Thank you
