Hi
You seem to have developed multiple de morgan spots or cherry angiomas.
These are benign or harmless skin lesions.
They present with multiple small pin point red colored lesions over the skin.
Usually they are just a cosmetic problem.
If they are really bothering you, you can get them removed from a nearby dermatologist.
They can even be left as such if they are not causing any problem.
