What are these spots on my legs?

Question

Excuse my non shaven legs. I’ve been seeing these pop up the past year and they seem to be getting worse. What’s crazy is if I scratch at them a flake of skin will come off and then I can pull the hair out with tweezers. I shave my legs like every other week so I don’t think they are razor bumps? How do I treat these?

Answer

These could either be 
1. Petechiae
2. Cherry angiomas
Red moles or cherry angiomas, are common skin growths that can develop on most areas of your body. 
They’re also known as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots.
They’re usually found on people aged 30 and older. The collection of small blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish appearance.
These benign tumors are related to aging and tend to increase in number as a person becomes older. They occur in up to 50 percent of adults, according to one study published in American Family Physician.
This type of skin growth is typically not a cause for concern unless it bleeds often or changes in size, shape or color. 
Talk to your doctor if you notice any bleeding or changes in appearance. These could be symptoms of skin cancer.
