Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Blood comes out and accumulate underneath a skin due room rupture of capillaries following injury So you need not to worry, it may disappear with time. However if you can upload an image and tell me the nature of fall I will be able to tell you better
I would advise you to rule out possibility of fracture at the same point of time by taking an X ray of the site or bone involved

Small dots might be related to allergic reaction or insect bite during the process of house shifting.
Here, I would like to know if your are having itching or burning sensation in these rashes

Meanwhile you can take anti allergic like levocetirizine or fexofenadine if you having itching
Pleas avoid further injury or fall
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
