Hello. You have an unusual problem there! Those red dots may suggest anything from as simple as pimples or something more serious like bleeding under the skin due to low platelets or a viral infection. If you donot have fever or other general signs, we could wait and watch to see how they progress. However, if such red dots appear elsewhere in the body or the size of those present dots increases, you may need to see a doctor. Hope this helps.
