Hello,

Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!

It can be accumulation of small amount of blood (small hamtoma), purpura
folliculitis which a minor hair follicle bacterial infection etc. However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out.
