I have an odd rash I guess it would be called I am getting tiny redress dots on my lower arms towards the wrist on the right side there is a cluster 2 inches long by a half inch wide there is no pain involved and they are not lumping up on the skin. I have not been doing anything outside. I was just wondering if I should go to my Doctor and have it checked out or not it just started yesterday.

Hi,

It sounds like a petechial rash which means tiny bleeding under the skin.

There are many causes for the same: straining, medications, blood disorders, vitamin K deficiency to name a few.

I suggest you get it reviewed by your concerned doctor for a thorough examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
