Since the beginning of the corona virus lock down i stopped going to my barber and i bought a trimmer and started shaving my head at home. Ever since i started shaving at home (2/3 Months ago) i noticed red spots on the back of my head that doesn't go away. i usually shave my head once or twice per month and these spots are always there. they are not bumpy, itchy or cause any discomfort i don't feel them at all. i am also pretty sure that they are new and that they are not birth marks. any ideas what are these spots?

Thanks in advance.imageimageimage

      Thanks a lot for your reply i am assuming as well that it is not something serious since it doesn't itch or bumpy or cause any discomfort. i am just wondering what caused it and if its permanent or not. I will eventually visit a dermatologist. its just the whole coronavirus situation that makes such visits a bit difficult you know. Thanks again.
