Not a very helpful history! However could be pitryasis rosea/cherry angomas. Should settle in a couple of weeks with the first diagnosis. Cherry angiomas tend to remain and harmless.Do consult your doc.

Hello,
If these are very red bumps which are elevated then cherry angioams is a possibility. They 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. When they first develop, they may be only a tenth of a millimeter in diameter and almost flat, appearing as small red dots. Please don’t worry as 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.
