Hello,
The tinny brown spots on your arms and legs can not be due to anemia. Anemia causes paleness and not increased pigmentation.
The spots can be due to a fungal infection or they can be normal spots with aging. A good visit with your doctor will determine which of these is the cause and if treatment is needed.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
