Hey everyone
I'm 20 yrs old now but since I was around 15 I had these red dots on my arms, legs, and torso. It doesn't only look bad but my skin is not smooth any more. It even gets worse when I shave as these dots appear more... is there anyway they could be gone??

Having no medical background, it sounds similarly to a condition I know of as cherry angiomas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_angioma), a small collection of blood vessels. A visit to your dermatologist would recognize these at a glance, I believe.
