Red dot on my arm - Won't stop bleeding.

Hello,

Yesterday morning after I got out the shower I started to bleed on my arm, the wound is really small like 1-2mm and I was literally dripping blood all over the place (My sink was fingertip deep full of blood). I had this red dot on my arm for a pretty long time and it is NOT hemangioma, it doesnt look like hemangioma at all. I started to bleed at 6:40am and it's the next day afternoon and I'm still bleeding. I wrapped some bandages over my arm since it was bleeding so much, now I'm not bleeding so much but its still like flowing blood. Can anyone help me? I'm currently studying in China so I can't even get professional help, the doctors here doesn't know these kind of things.

Get to a hospital - China has emergency medical centres - we cannot advise you.

Thank you, the bleeding stop. I will have to go to HongKong for these kind of problems. I am just worried that it's going to start bleeding again and loose too much.

Which is why you must seek emergency medical help. Please don't consult 'Dr Google' - see a medical professional in person.

It is strange to bleed extensively from minor skin lesion (1-2 mm).I advice to check bleeding profile of your body

And check this red dot ( biobsy)

try to google for why blood appears with lymphedema and see if you can find a result.. can you get a dr who specialize in vascular issues etc. or contact a therapist through an email connection .. I went to an infectious disease DR who helps me the most. best wishes... blood is not a good sign............. stay on top of it. my little red dots turn into staff or cellulitis infections... not good. i carry /take medications with me whenever i leave town and follow up when i get back i have a great dr... don't have to use it very often but when i do it saves me a lot of heartache mostly i concentrate on prevention etc. not always successful ... things change quickly sometimes
