Question: 1 / 495

What skin condition often appears as red spots due to expanded blood vessels?

Leucoderma

Hypertrophy

Petechiae

The correct response is related to the condition known as petechiae, which are small red or purple spots that occur when tiny blood vessels (capillaries) bleed, leaking blood into the skin. This condition is often a result of the expansion of blood vessels and can indicate various underlying health issues, including infections, blood clotting disorders, or physical trauma.

Other options refer to different conditions. Leucoderma involves a loss of skin pigment, leading to lighter patches on the skin rather than red spots. Hypertrophy generally describes an increase in the size of an organ or tissue, but doesn't specifically relate to the appearance of red spots. Keratoma or callous refers to thickened areas of skin which develop as a response to friction or pressure, also not characterized by red spots from expanded blood vessels. This distinction is key in understanding how these various skin conditions manifest differently.
