What Causes A Red Spot On The Arm?

every once in a while i get a little red spot on my arm. it turns into a blood blister but still pretty small, and i have one on my chest between my breasts (still about the size of a pin head), it s been there for years. Can you tell me what causes this? I do have a-fib, and thought maybe it might have something to do with it.
