I have occasionally noticed one or two small red spots on my body starting five years ago. These spots are neither painful nor itchy, and there is no obvious discomfort. However, over time, their number seems to have slightly increased.

Red spots appearing on the body without pain or itching can be caused by various factors, including but not limited to hemangiomas, urticaria, capillary dilation, pigmentation, or certain drug reactions. The absence of symptoms such as pain or itching usually indicates these spots may be benign, but further examination is still required to determine the exact cause.
Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly. A professional dermatologist should conduct a detailed medical history review and physical examination. Medical tests such as skin biopsy or blood tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. During treatment, patients should maintain clean skin and avoid excessive scratching or rubbing to prevent infection. Additionally, avoiding known allergens, such as animal dander and pollen, can help prevent the spots from increasing or worsening.
