What Causes Petechiae On Right Arm?

I have petechiae on my right arm. Most of them are pinpoint sizes, some look very slightly bigger. Save for a calcium sulfate supplement last night and a vit C supplement this morning, I haven t taken any drugs. I have no allergies that I m aware of; haven t eaten or touched anything foreign. What could this be?

Hi..

there are many reasons behind these petechiae, most common is the thrombocytopenia, and acquired between C deficiency. other causes include drug reaction and bacterial infection. proper physical examination is needed to differentiate between these conditions. they are also commonly seen in chronic cases of diabetes mellitus, so please visit your local dermatologist in order to get properly examined.
