Red dots around eyes and tops of cheeks

I don't think this is pregnancy mask - but I woke up with all these little red dots all around my eyes and tops of my cheeks. I was sick last night and coughing/throwing up rather hard. Anyone seen this before? I was thinking it may just be blood vessels but I'm not sure. : / They don't itch, just look obnoxious. I'm on the fence about calling the ob since it's not hurting anything that I can tell, just looks bad. Anyone seen this before?

could definitely be from throwing up. but if the spots are raised at all it could be alittle bit of eczema, my skin got very sensitive to everything around 16 wks or so. try a cool cloth and cucumber over the eyes if thats the case. you'll know its eczema if it doesn't clear up quickly. i chnaged my skin routine for a week and it subsided.

Thanks ladies. It'd be great if my stomach would quit rebelling! 20 weeks and still with the random morning sickness attacks.
