When it rains, it pours...

Hello all (again)
Today while i was showering i noticed about 3 pinprick red dots on my arms. I am fair skinned so they are very easily to see. It alarmed me. It doesnt hurt or itch, it is just there. I have red up on it and i see it could be called peterchaie? (spelling). Could these red bumps indiciate something serious? such as HIV>

I also have a head cold now, i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Thank you. God bless

NOT HIV.

Probably just three red dots.

As lynn said, if you are still worried in a week, see a doctor.

For now you could go to our Dermatology Forum.

I don,t really think these are an indication of HIV or any other serious ailment.  I have these on different areas  and they are harmless.  Wait and see if they go away after a week.  If they continue to worry you....see the doctor.
