I have been having a problem with my arms, from my elbow to my wrist. I will just notice that I have these red spots kinda like elderly people get. Blood coming to the surface or something. So I go to the dr. and he says "I dont' know what it is and I think your going to just have to live with it:". WHAT, I can't believe this. Oh yeah, I forgot, they are just practing medicine. Does anyone on her have any problems with their skin?

I would DEFINITELY get a second opinion! They may be nothing or they could indicate something problematic medically.

I get a few very, very small red spots, the size of a pen point, on my skin but they're not anything, according to my doc. But if I ended up with a lot of them, I'd go back to my doc and ask again. I can't conjecture, not being a medical person myself, but I do think a second opinion is called for.
