Does anyone know what this is? I noticed it this evening because it was slightly itchy. It looks like a blood blister but is more red. I did have several bouts of severe eczema towards the end of last year and the beginning of this one and it was much worse on my legs than anywhere else. It's not sore or painful and it isn't a mole x

It looks like a cherry angioma. x
Looks like one of those darned marks you get as you get older I'm afraid.
Mention it to your GP next time you need to see him/her, but don't worry about it....a bit of cosmetic concealer will hide it if you are very conscious of it.
Hi i had a break out of these alot about 11yrs ago and still get occasionally now its all to do with antiphosphlid and sometimes stress but found that my lupus seamed to flare aswell at this point just keep a photo record and diary to see what patteren emerges.
Good luck
Difficult to see from a photo - but it looks like petechiae or purpura (the different names refer to different sizes).

There are due to the tiniest capillaries in the skin being broken and bleeding or simply leaking. The Mayo article explains them.
