RE: Hello Steemit! I Am A Dermatologist From Europe - AMA (Ask Me Anything) I am here to help!

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

Welcome! I'm new too. I've had amazing experiences with light therapy. Specifically the REDjuvenator. I believe it should be a tool in every dermatologists kit. Particularly the bacterial buster which relieves contact dermatitis in one 5 minute treatment.

But my question to you is, I've noticed I get red bumps - small, like bright red blood blisters that seem permanent. What are they, how do they simply appear, and how do I get rid of them? image

@mhrose These are called cherry angiomas and most people have them. You can get rid of them with intense pulsed light -IPL, laser therapy, or radiocautherization with a fine needle. They are harmless though if you decide to leave them be. The exact cause why they form is not fully known. They are basically small blood vessels.
