What Causes Blood Spots Under Eyes, Cheeks And Neck?
My 3 year old son has woke up this morning with what looks look tiny blood spots under his skin around his eyes, cheeks and even a few on his neck. They are not painful and this is not the first time this has happened-they disappear after a few days. Please could you possibly explain this.

Hello there,
That is a very good question and is actually not uncommon. When a child comes to the office with the red dots, the first thing I ask is if they were recently sick with a cough or vomiting. Both of those actions can break the capillaries on the surface of the skin from the constant strain. If you send a picture, I can definitely take a peek to see more specifically what they look like and if he has any other symptoms.
Hope to hear from you again!
