Hi

The image is not very clear. However, based on your description , I do not think this is skin cancer. Skin cancers may be dark spots, more like ink stains eg melanoma. They may be angrier looking as in the case of squamous cell CA. In your case, I am thinking of something vascular. These may be petechia or purpura. Do you scratch the rash or have you bumped the areas  into something?

Just continue to observe them. At this point, I do not think you should be very worried unless there are associated gum bleeding, nose bleed or any increase in size of these spots.
