Google image folliculitis, which is a type of skin infection. I think it might be that instead. It's more of an annoyance than awful. See a doctor, but no need to panic.
Thank you so much or the reply. But the reason, I wouldn't think it is that, is because there are some spots where there is no hair. Any other suggestions?
Here are 2 more pictures. They seem to get darker, and then fade sometimes.

Hello,
These can be due to cherry angiomas or flat warts. they don’t look like petechiael spots which are not raised. Cherry angiomas are made up of clusters of tiny capillaries at the surface of the skin, forming a small round dome ("papule"), which may be flat topped.
The underlying cause for the development of cherry angiomas is not understood, so nothing can be predicted about their prevention but rest assured; they are harmless.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
