Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Dot-like marks on the body that look like freckles – what should I do?
Answered by Dr. Aditya Favade
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
A person may notice pinpoint dots on their skin for various reasons, ranging from heat exposure to infectious diseases. While there's no immediate cause for concern, obtaining a complete medical history is crucial. It's important to have these dots checked by a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist. Although many freckle-like spots may be harmless, it's essential to rule out any potential skin conditions or, in rare cases, skin cancer.
Thanks & Regards
