The red dots you see could be small blood vessels under your skin that broke, which is called petechiae. This can happen from minor pressure or injury. It might also be caused by other skin conditions, infections, or allergies.

If the dots keep coming back or you're worried, it's best to see a doctor. A dermatologist can help you figure out what it is.
