Are there other signs or symptoms present such as fever? Petechiae are small red or purplish spots on the skin that don't fade when you press on them. Petechiae are due to broken capillaries in the skin and resolves completely without any treatment. In an unwell baby they be a sign of a serious illness. It would be best to see your baby's pediatrician for further evaluation and to rule out other diseases that could be present. Take care and keep us posted.
