Q. Hello. What are the pin-head-sized red spots that appear on my chest, tummy, and back, look to be blood-filled, but, as I say, VERY tiny, and now they are starting to appear on my face (ugh), maybe three so far? The ones on my tummy and back are raised a teeny bit, but the ones on my face are not raised, but like blood is right under the surface of the skin? I would like to know if these can be removed, if it's something I'm eating (or not eating) that is causing these to appear, or just aging? Can I do anything on my own to get rid of them, maybe stick a pin in it and drain the blood? Thank you.

Answer: The lesions that you are seeing are what we call angiomas. They are totally benign. They can be removed. It is nothing that you are eating that is causing the problem. They are a function of getting older. There is nothing to do to get rid of them. Picking at them at this point is dangerous and may cause infection. You should see your dermatologist.
