Brief Answer:
Please upload another image.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details provided and also through the attached image. However, the disposition of the image is such that it is hard to make out where the spots are located and what is their size. I would request you to upload another image since. Also mention specifically how long the spots have been there. It will enable me to comment more definitively.

I will await your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
The images are not helpful. Try taking them at lower zoom or not so close.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for uploading the images. However, the newer images convey no new information as I had been seeking. Please try taking the image at a lesser zoom such that the relative size (with respect to something) is evident.

Since they are persistent and non itchy, I do not think them to be a cause of concern.

Brief Answer:
It is normal. I see no problem.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your response. Incidentally the final image is much better and provides what I was looking for. Consider it normal. They are probably due to pressure or friction and are not a cause for concern. There is no reason for you to grow apprehensive.

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (10 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
During pregnancy the blood volume increases and the blood vessels get convoluted. The spots have occurred as the blood vessels under the skin have changed their disposition and have stayed like that.
