Petechiae, help with this?!
Question: I've been getting this red little dots on my skin, mostly on my arms. I've noticed them before, it's not a recent thing. But I looked them up and saw they are called petechiae, I've read something about them too. I've got more than a few on my arms but they are really small. Is this something to be concern about?

They may not be petechiae - they may be angiomas. Petechiae are typically caused by pressure - such as tourniquet, or strangulation if on the face.
Your things are probably harmless.
