MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if they have what I have and know what it is or how to get rid of them. I have a bunch of tiny red dots/spots on my upper arms. They are not raised, they're under the skin and you can't feel them. It's not keritosis pilaris because those are raised bumps.They don't itch or anything they are just there. I don't have them anywhere else on my body. I've had them for as long as I can remember and my dad, brother and sister have them too. Thank you

Welcome to the forum. I have no idea,but they must not be dangerous or you would know it from your family. I have not heard of anything like that in the PH area,but you never know.

Good luck in your search for an answer.

Do you have CREST? CREST is a cause of PH, and one of the symptoms of CREST are little red dots called telangiectasias.
