When I was 19 i got some tiny red dots on my arm i went to see my doctor he took one look and told me it was aging spots on my skin. for one i wear sunscreen i was 19 i felt this was wrong. now im 27 the main two spots are still there but now i feel this is something that needs to be taken care of. For one I caint even look in the mirror any more, These red tiny spots have taken over my body and life. They have spread to my feet, chest, arms, lips, eyes, nose. there are alot of them looks like a rash but its not. At first i thought they were cherry spots but they dont look like them it looks like if i stuck my self with a neddle and is a fainter red around the tiny *****. I wear sunscreen if i do go outside i have tried acid cream nothin seems to work. In hust the past week i have got four new spots on my hands its like there breeding. I want to have help i want someone out there to care how I feel about my self and help me get this off my body weather itd cancer, infection i want my life back so i dont feel everyone is staring at my face and chest when I go out.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be petechiae. A common cause of petechiae is a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Causes of a low platelet count include autoimmune disorders viral infections such as mononucleosis, side effect of certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, bone marrow disorders, such as leukemia and infection of the bloodstream.
I sincerely advise you to consult a hematologist and get your coagulation profile and liver function tests investigated. Without examination and investigations, diagnosis cannot be confirmed.

Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
