What Causes Petechiae On My Face?

I currently have what appears to be petechiae on my face / eyes. Just a few days ago I had gotten it on my face and neck. I noticed that it appears after stretching (Mainly after doing back bridges). I believe maybe its from lack of oxygen / to much pressure to the head. I would love your take on it.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might be having a low platelet count and hence you might be developing these petechae. Get your platelet levels checked.Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal, you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.A photograph would have helped me better.Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.Let me know if you have any other doubt.you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818Wishing you a good health.Thank you
