Sudden appearance of freckles and little red blood spots?

Sudden appearance of freckles and little red blood spots?

I got out of the shower tonight and toweling off my arms noticed that I have developed about five or six tiny new little moles, freckling on my shoulders and left arm, and quite a few new blood spots - tiny little red freckle looking spots. I have always had one on my left breast and now I have another one, nearly twice it's size, on my right breast. This has all shown up within the last four days. Also, the tops of my thighs a few months ago took on the appearance of having suffered a bad shave. They look like they are covered in in grown hairs or something and have red bumps all over that doesn't go away.
I have suffered from eczema for the majority of my life, and I do have an autoimmune disorder - IBS / Ulcerative Colitis (doctors still tell me they are unsure of which yet) if that makes any difference. I have over the last year developed heart palpitations as well, though my mother told me she gets them as well and it's hereditary...
In any case, extremely disconcerted regarding the sudden onset of moles, freckles and red dots... Ideas? Should I go see a doctor about this?

Hello,
From your symptoms the possibility of pityriasis rosea needs to be ruled out. Initially, a primary plaque, called a herald patch, is seen. Then it is followed by a distinctive, generalized rash 1-2 weeks later. The rash lasts approximately 2-6 weeks and is found in a Christmas tree pattern over the trunk and abdomen.
To confirm the diagnosis please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
