Pin sized blood spots on my skin.

I have these tiny pin sized blood spots on my body.  I went to the Doctor thinking the worst, and he told me it was from allergies, stating my body needs to rid itself of the allergy and this is one way of doing it.  Anyone else have this?

I have them too. Dr says they are nothing.

Are these like freckles or moles? I think I have a couple myself.  Have always wondered about them!  Hmmmmm!

are these like petechial hemmorhages?  i have them too.  tiny bright red spots on my chest.  never thought it would be from allergies!  if so then that explains why they come and go!

this sounds like petechiae and it is caused by low blood platelets - it means your blood isn't clotting properly - it can be a life threatening condition - i would have that checked out - have doctor check platelet levels just to make sure
