Red spots are rarely an independent manifestation, in most cases they act as a sign of a more severe disease. They are mainly associated with infectious and inflammatory processes. Children appear mainly because of infectious diseases. Women are often observed with endocrine imbalance, in men - as a result of the development of an infectious, inflammatory process, intoxication of the body. Also often occur against a background of reduced immunity, increased sensitization of the body. In the absence of treatment, they can merge with each other, form conglomerates, and fill with liquid. Often form a systemic effect on the body.

Red spots on the body with allergies
As an allergen is absolutely any external stimulus: pollen, spores of fungi, food, animal hair, chemical agents. Refer to a specialist as soon as they appear, otherwise the risk of disease progression is great. The greatest danger is that anaphylactic shock can develop: the pressure drops sharply, the person loses consciousness. Developing hypoxia, collapse, respiratory function is inhibited. All this occurs against a background of sharp edema of the lips, mouth and trachea. The most dangerous is pulmonary edema. There are wheezing, shortness of breath, frequent palpitations, tightness in the chest. The body temperature may rise sharply.
Red spots on the body with hives
Urticaria is an allergic disease, accompanied by a severe rash. Require emergency care, since the risk of developing an anaphylactic shock is always preserved. It should also be taken into account that against the background of increased allergization of cells, the reactions develop much faster, any allergen can cause an allergic reaction.
Red spots on the body with dermatitis
Red spots are one of the main symptoms of dermatitis. In addition to spots, there is itching, flaking, dermal seals. Most often, these manifestations make themselves felt in the winter, whereas in spring and summer their severity is much less. You can eliminate symptoms with hormonal ointments. Inside take antiallergic drugs.
Red spots on the body like moles
May indicate a latent course of herpesvirus infection. At the same time, this infection is latent. A person may not even suspect about his disease. Often moles are the first sign of pathology. In order to timely identify the virus, it is necessary to conduct an analysis for hidden infections.
Red spots on the body from sweat
Sweat contains a large number of different substances, including urea, ammonia. These substances can cause severe skin irritation, as well as inflammation, if you do not follow the rules of hygiene for a long time, do not make any attempts at treatment. With excessive sweating, red spots appear very quickly and do not go away for a long time. They are especially intense in the folds of the skin: in the armpits, inguinal region. It is recommended to wipe the skin with drying agents, and also use talc or special drying powders.
Red spots on the body in fungal diseases
The development of fungus very often leads to the appearance of red spots. They cover the whole surface of the body. It can be candidiasis, lichen, and other diseases that develop mainly when the immunity of a person decreases or dysbacteriosis develops.
Red spots on the body with diabetes
There is a metabolic disorder, so often develop dysbiosis, fungi. Reduces the permeability of vessels, increases their fragility. Often spots in diabetes are accompanied by itching and burning, especially if a person is characterized by excessive excitability of the nervous system.
To reduce the manifestation to a minimum it is possible by using a contrast shower. It is also necessary to maintain immunity, exercise, conduct various procedures that will increase the body's resistance, strengthen endurance. It is important to strengthen the vessels. In this well-proven breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation practices.

For example, against a background of a dysbacteriosis the pathogenic microflora can be activated, and normal decrease. Therapy antiviral drugs, analgesics.
Red spots on the body with herpes
Herpes is a virus that persists for a long time in the blood, being inactive form. But with reduced immunity, concomitant negative factors, activation occurs, which manifests itself in the form of a viral process. The causative agent of varicella is also one of the viruses of the Herpes group ( herpes zoster ). Chickenpox is mainly affected in childhood, after which a stable lifelong immunity is formed.
Then, after the transferred form, a person can get sick with a latent form of herpesvirus infection. In this case, the temperature rises, spots appear under the arms, in the intercostal areas. Gradually spread, fill with watery contents, the temperature rises.
Red spots on the body with HIV
A sharp decrease in immunity may lead to the progression of the infectious process. Often there is a fungal infection, an inflammatory process joins. The hormonal background sharply changes. All this contributes to a change in metabolism. Change metabolic processes in the skin, there is a decrease in tone, increases the permeability of capillaries.
Red spots on the body after antibiotics
Develops dysbiosis. It is he who causes the development of spots. Significantly reduced the number of opportunistic microflora. In its place, a pathogenic microflora develops, sometimes a fungus. Fungus during generalization can lead to the formation of red spots.

Red spots on the body with nervous overstrain, stress, agitation
Red spots often occur in humans against the background of increased excitability of the nervous system. Itching may appear as a consequence of various disorders. Redness can occur with excessive overstrain, with constant stress, if a person is systematically exposed to stress factors, is constantly in nervous tension, does not relax enough, does not rest if there is a sudden strong stress factor. The triggering mechanism can be getting into an accident, an emergency situation, an attack, or unpleasant news.
Red spots on the body after sex
The reason may be an individual reaction to sexual arousal. There is a sharp surge of hormones. Vessels expand substantially, skin metabolism intensifies in the skin layers, reddening occurs.
Also, the reason may be a reaction to sperm, which includes many components, including prostaglandins, which have different effects, including, to promote rashes.
Red spots on the body after a shower, sauna, pool
After contact with water, many people develop red spots, which indicates skin sensitization and hypersensitivity, a possible allergy to water, or rather, the disinfecting agents contained in it. Often, chlorine is added to the water, causing a corresponding reaction.
Similar phenomena develop when exposed to cosmetics, soaps, shampoos. Some may have an individual reaction to cold and hot temperatures, with a sharp contrast. With vegetovascular dystonia, the vascular reaction manifests itself in such a way that the vessels do not fully adapt to the conditions of the external environment.
If the red spots after contact with water most intensively manifest themselves in the neck, it is advisable to talk about pityriasis. Acidified water is required for its treatment and elimination. In pools and under a shower water usually contains alkali in its composition, so the situation is aggravated.

More rarely, there may be a reaction to auxiliary substances, dyes, which are part of the alcoholic beverage. In this case, an intensive development of antibodies for the control of the allergen occurs. An intensive inflammatory process develops. Less often, autoimmune pathology may develop, with excessive activity of immune complexes and the production of a large number of antibodies. Alcohol of poor quality can cause an intoxication of the body and contribute to the development of skin damages.
After the beer, red spots on the body
Beer can cause such a reaction only if it is light. Biochemists, bacteriologists and doctors do not recommend using light beer, because it is a product of incomplete fermentation. After drinking light beer, we create conditions in the gastrointestinal tract for its further fermentation, as a result of which the intestinal microflora is broken, metabolic processes and the entire biochemical cycle of a person are disrupted. With a large load goes to the liver, kidneys, the heart of man, stomach and intestines suffer, blood composition is disrupted.
Dark beer is a product of full fermentation of wort, as a result of which an appropriate microflora, useful for the human gastrointestinal tract, is established. Vitamins are formed.
