Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Red Lines Of Blood Under Skin. Chest Pain, Joint Pain, Muscle Pain. Cause?
Every few days for the last two weeks I've noticed small red lines of blood under my skin. They look like scratches but are under smooth skin. Sometimes they are from trauma, like when I carried a heavy bag on my shoulder. Sometimes they just appear, like three that appeared on my chest this morning. I first noticed many of them when I had an automatic blood pressure monitor on my arm when I went to the ER for chest pains (they didn't find anything). I've also been having joint and muscles pains. What might be causing this?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms that you have described are likely to be related to an autoimmune disorder. This needs a battery of blood tests and other investigations under the guidance of a rheumatologist for diagnosis. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
