I do have some quite large ones on my decolletage, by that I mean just a bit bigger than a large sewing pin head. I am a bit frustrated though because I have practically hundreds of tiny red dots scattered particularly on my torso.
I am now noticing them on my arms, upper legs if I put my reading glasses on and take a good look... which I might add is quite depressing from a cosmetic standpoint. I used to have good skin or so I thought, the first time I noticed these red dots on my torso - tummy I had been using a solarium back in the 80's I am now nearly 56 years old.
Can anyone please offer any advice on the possible causes of having so many? if it is an iodine deficiency then mine must be a major one!
I would need to bath in ACV and Tea Tree Oil and Olive Oil, and it would take ages to cover all of the individual spots with those remedies...mind you I am prepared to give it a go if it will get rid of these unsightly little red dots.
I fear they will all join up and I'll turn red..I may be exaggerating a little there as most of them are tiny dots...I just dont like them.

Hi, I have these too and recently read about a doctor who felt these spots were a sign of having high glucose. This makes sense to me because I have been on 50 mg of iodine a day for a while and they have not budged.Replied by Frances (Cabarlah, Queensland) on 02/16/2015
Lindy, if you google: cherry angiomas and bromine you will get a lot of info esp. look for non-orthodox explanation.Replied by Mama to Many (Tennessee) on 02/16/2015
Dear Linda,
In addition to the other suggestions, you could try some baths (to cover a large area). You could add 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to a warm bath and try this a few times a week. Alternately, you could try 1 cup of baking soda in a warm bath a few times a week.
I would also look into alkalizing remedies on this website. It is amazing how much that helps so many different conditions!

I had the same issue a few years ago. They seemed to pop up all over my body at an alarming rate. I was told I had a yeast overgrowth in my body/gut which may have been the cause. I rid my body of the yeast (yeast/sugar free diet) and took probiotics (which I still continue to take). This stopped any new cherry angiomas from appearing, but didn't get rid of the existing ones. I had to have these removed by advanced electrolysis over the course of a few months.
