    Red dots on arm? petechiae?

    I have these red dots on my right arm and i think they been there since the summer I thought maybe they are petechiae since I had them before but on my leg but they went away after some time these haven't and they are starting to worry me. Would any of you know what they are or what they might be?

    Frankly, I didn't see anything but a normal arm, hair and a few freckles

    I can see 1 red spot and some freckles... Whatever it is, if it's been there since summer its definitely not petechiae...
    It's probably nothing to worry about, these things pop up as we get older. I am 37 and have all kinds of red spots and I dont worry about them. I am also prone to petechiae and get them with mild pressure and everytime my blood pressure gets taken it looks like someone shook a paint brush over my arm that had red paint on it. I get them on my whole arm and even the top of my hand. I actually asked my dr and dermatologist about this and they both said so long as my blood counts were normal not to worry about it..

    Hey! I have a few tiny pinprick red spots all over my arms, I had them checked out by the doctor last year and she said it was likely just a few tiny blood vessels that had popped and that they were totally harmless.

    My first Pic wasn't taken that well. So I tried to find better light but my phone is good couple of years old so the camera isn't all that well.

    I’ve got a couple of those on my arms as well. Been there for awhile. I wouldn’t be worried.

    As one person suggested, perhaps they're popped blood vessels. I also have these red spots in several places. Cherry angimoa is another possibility.

    Are any of them raised? In the 2nd photo a couple look raised.
