Sounds like you may have a sore throat that is causing the blood.  Try gargling with warm water with a little salt in it.

It is probably your lymph nodes.You probably have an infection.You should go to a doctor.He will give you a prescription for antibiotics.I don't want to scare you but it could also be cancer.Don't put it off,go to a doctor.

It NEEDS to be checked out. It is probably a swollen lymph node. Question is: what made it swell? It could be nothing, but you need to know for sure. If it's something bad, there are a LOT of good, effective treatments out there, but it must be caught as early as possible. Here's a site where you can find info, and see if you have any other symptoms:\nhttp://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls...\nI started with only one lymph node swollen [at the base of my neck on the left side] Bottom line, only a doctor will be able to give you the info you need.\nBest Wishes

If they are on the back of your arms they might be sunspots. I have the same problem. Wash them regularly but do not scrub them (they will get irritated and get worse). I started using my oil of olay lotion on them a few months ago and it seems to have smoothed them out a bit and they arent so red. Also use sunscreen when you are out. Dont be afraid to wear tank tops. The more confident you are the better you will feel about yourself. And T shirts arent that great for a woman.

My loved one had that for about a year. It is caused by two reasons: a lot of stress, emotional distress or nervousness, \nor bad food and lack of vitamins. \n\nDO NOT scratch it off, since it will take out even more of your hair. There exists a special shampoo to cure just this condition. I don't know it's name, but I could ask my dear. Contact me if you want, I'll ask. \n\nsecond, make sure you stabilise your lifestyle, eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, have enough rest, avoid stress.. if that doesn't help, get some vitamin pills. Ask doctor which vitamins is good for hair and skin. I think D, but I'm not sure, please ask. \n\nthird, a GENTLE scalp massage with your fingertips and some scalp oil (again, ask a doc or contact me and I'll ask my dear), can help. Do not scratch or use fingertips, just massage it lightly so you speed up the blood circulation and healing.\n\nEdit: I asked, the first thing you have to massage the scalp with Cocois oil (some sort of coconut jelly)\nThen wash it out using Nizoral shampoo OR Polytar shampoo\n\nYou use the Cocois oil for about a week, then just continue using the shampoo. The oil is the thing that cleans the flakes, but it's really strong, so don't use it for longer periods of time together. \n\nHope this helps.

It could be several things, really. It could be an infected hair follicle, a wart, a really determined pimple, or many other things. Does it bleed? Does it itch? Is it painful when you leave it alone? \n\nDon't pick at it. See your dermatologist. Good luck. :)

There are many things that could cause this.\n\nYou shouldn't be asking here. See your doctor!

Go ask your doctor. I am not a medical professional but you want to find out what is causing this. It could be anemia or some other thing with the blood. Good luck!

Go to the ER right away.  Only professionals can get rid of stars.\n\nor it might be just a bump on your head.

that might not be what it is, consider your recent activity and look it up on symptoms on yahoo search or something. It could be a zit or something.

That does ot sound like vitiligo, it sounds like a fungus.  Try using an antifungus on your skin for about three motnhs, see what happens.  Vitiligo moves around, white spots tend to just get a tiny bit bigger over years, which makes me think aha!!  Fungus amoungus.  \n\nI have so much knowledge in areas that bring me so little money.

It might be a cyst. These are big red lumps that don't come to a head and they hurt.\n\nDon't push it, squeeze or mess with it. If it doesn't go away, go to a local doctor who can inject it with a tiny needle full of hydrocortisone to shrink it. Cysts can make nasty scars if you fool around with them.

See a doctor. You will want to rule out anything serious. It could be a clogged sweat gland, an inflamed lymph node or even a tumor (not necessarily a bad one).

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?
