Hey everyone, I noticed recently that I have small red dots on parts of my body - mainly my arms, chest, and stomach.
They're tiny, like pinpricks. I have maybe 100 overall, but they're not very noticeable since they're so small - it's not something people comment upon.
But it's still unusual, so I was wondering if anybody knew what they were? I have no other symptoms with them, no itchiness or anything like that, they're just...there. Do you have any ideas?

Might be cherry angiomas (red freckles) which are harmless or petechiae tiny pinpoint bleeds under the skin which need to be evaluated by a dermatologist.
I have both, cherry angiomas because they run in my family and petechiae from long term rheumatoid arthritis. There are dozens of different disorders that can cause pinpoint bleeding.
