Why do i have tiny red dots?!


Question: I was in the sauna (and i'm 13), and i scratched my arms, legs, and above my breasts, and i noticed that i started to get red dots. my dad said to not worry about it, but i had red dots before. They are only in areas that i have scratched. They aren't bumpy, nor itchy. They are about 1-3mm. I'm starting to freak out now, but i shall not bother my dad, since he is asleep -.-; but i would appreciate if you would tell me what's happening to me. Ive been out of the sauna 2 hours already, and its still on me. Please help me D:

They're caused because the blood was already close to your skin from being in the sauna (trying to cool off) and when you scratched, it broke tiny vessels and caused the spots. They're like little bruises and should go away in a week to two weeks. Don't worry about them.

Here's a test to see if they are what I think, push on them. If they don't get lighter like the rest of your skin, they're the broken blood vessels.

Maybe a heat rash, or sweat rash?

You might be having an allergic reaction.
