Suggest Remedy For Red Spots In Forearm

Last week or so, I woke up noticing I have faint, red spots from the middle of my forearm to the lower end of my wrist. They were not bumps nor itchy. There was about 10 or so total. They look like really small hickies, the size of a pin head. I did some research, and it seems similar to patechiae, but I don't think I have low platelet count or vitamin deficiency. I think it might be from falling asleep on my arm at night, as they would appear in the morning. My main reason for this suspicion is because I sleep on a couch, which probably doesn't allow a whole lot of movement. This is the second time it has happened, there seems to be fewer, only around the end of my wrist, dark red, and if it is the same case as the first, then it will probably fade in a few days. What are your thoughts?
