From your description, I'm really not sure what red spots you are describing, but they are most likely to be either cherry angiomas (benign collections of blood vessels) or blocked follicles. Either way, I wouldn't worry if I were you. next time you have a checkup, show your doctor.
Best.

Hey Zoom,
It seems we are in the same boat. I am 25 years old and have about 15-20 of what looks like cherry angiomas on my trunk. I also got freaked out by my reading on the Internet in regards to this condition.
How large are your spots? Mine range 1-3 mm. Let me know. Thanks.

In the last couple months, especially in sunshine, i have noticed 20 or so of these things. To say the least I am very freaked out. I have been searching and searching for answers, and nothing seems to fit.. From what i can tell here, these little red spots are non-fatal, and dont seem to be a tall-tale sign of any disease. I too went and seriously freaked myself out over all this.. I read about HIV, and cancer, and everything else nasty..
I do hope however, that they are able to pin these things to something a little more substantial than 'getting older'.
I am only 25 years old, and i have no desire to get much older, with these little sick looking blanchable red spots on my arms and chest, hitching a ride into nothingness.

I too have hundreds of tiny red blood (sometimes purple)spots that blanch when you rub over them with your finger nail. They started about seven years ago on my inner arms and have progressed over my stomach and legs. I have had many doctors perform blood tests and the tests always come back normal. The doctors call them Petechie and offer no more info. or further tests. Although I'm in good health I recently started to experience a burning sensation on my tongue. Because I drink plenty of fluids daily I would rule dehydration out. Anyway, that's my situation.
I too recently developed red spots on my chest and legs. And mine appeared after I began taking pancreatic enzymes for digestion problems. I have two pencil eraser size moles on my chest that are also cherry red, but these I have had most of my life. Like everyone else posting here, I am praying that mine is something other than cancer.
I also have these, I have them on my upper chest (neck line), and on my hands. They are ugly, I am unable to wear anything with an open neck as I am very consious of them, and I seem to be getting more and more on my hands. I did start some treatment for the ones on my upper chest, and some of them have disappeared, I am now trying Derkma K cream. Does anyone know how to stop then apprearing?
