Tiny red spots (or moles?) everywhere, hundreds

[WebmasterInTexas]

This year I have suddenly got hundreds of tiny red bumps that I think are moles. They are all over my upper body, most are tiny, a few look like they are going to burst full of blood. I have always had a few very large moles that protrude, and I have a few light brown flat spots.
My father, his mother, and everyone back has died from cancer, and I am concerned, does this sound like something I should be concerned about?

If you are at a high risk category which you having a parent having cancer, and other family members, I would go get checked to be on the safe side.

I have seen red bumps on skin caused from heat rash/excess sebaceous glands, where the pores of the skin turn blood red usually when it is warmer out, but best to have a doctor look at your particular situation and family history to determine a cause.

Definitely update us with what you find out too.
