Lifestyle tips

That's not ecchymosis. Ecchymosis is blood under the skin - usually from a hematoma (bruise). It's flat and spread out instead of being small raised red bumps.


It looks like you have cherry angiomas:

I concur. My best friend went to her dermatologist about a mole that she didn't like the look of, and it turned out to be skin cancer. Thankfully, they caught it early, so it wasn't a big deal. I'm not saying you do have skin cancer, but it couldn't hurt to check.

I'm a diabetic. When I was younger, I had trouble keeping my blood sugar in check. I'd get frequent yeast infections, and it was hell.

I'm sure I'm not saying anything you haven't already been told before, but please get yourself checked. Don't worry if your doctor tells you you need to lose weight. There is more to your health than the numbers on the scale. Don't ignore this.

Wipes, Gold Bond Medicated Powder, Gold Bond Friction helped me. Bactin for when the skin would tear or break is a life-saver as well.

Best of Luck with your upcoming appointment.
