I have a few tiny blood like dots on my arms

I do apologize for posting a reply in a thready below, I thought I was posting a new thread but couldn't delete it.

I have a question regarding a few of these blood like dots on my arms where my biceps are.

I'm 24years old I'm 6'4 and weighing about 235 pounds. I have blonde hair blue eyes and my family is from england so I'm pretty fair skinned. I'm in great heath I play soccer and run every evening after work. I recently had a physical done about 3 weeks ago with all my blood work and everything came back good and the nurse told me I'm not anemic. I had a physical done and they did a blood test as they do with any physical, my liver functions were elevated and had a ct scan done and they found some fatty liver in my live so I've been eating healthy and working out more. I just wanted to give you some background on my medical history.. I've never been to the hospital for anything at all so as my doctor told me I'm in good health and all I need to do just eat right and work out.

My question is could stress or working cause these tiny blood dots to appear? I work in a office environment with web design so tons of time lines and sitting down at the computer.

There are only a few on my arm and and tiny at that. I read online that it's more common to see this on fair skinned people since you are lighter. I asked my mum and inspected her arm and she had a few. My mum and older brother have eczema and I don't think I've gotten this because I don't have a rash anywhere or had one.  so I'm kinda thrown for a loop at what exactly this is and if it's anything I should be concerned with. I don't drink that much and if I do it's like one drink every few weeks if I even do have a drink.

I have a few that disapear when I push them down and a few that don't that look like like dry blood? or a freckle. I'm assuming it's a broken blood vessel from the skin growing / aging or from me lifting anything heavy? I feel perfectly fine tons of energy and no symptoms of anything I've seen online, no fever or vomiting or rapid weight loss.

Thank you again for reading this lengthy post.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my post.

I was a little worried since I looked up petechiae on the web which was a really bad idea and it looked nothing like what I've seen. Mine are very small and a few are only visible since I am fair skinned.

Thank you I will remember to wear sun block!

Hi,

These tiny dots are most probably broken blood capillaries. These are known as petechiae. They occur as a result of physical trauma, allergic reaction or as a side effect of medications like aspirin. I would advise you to relax as you seem to be in perfect health, just protect your skin from trauma.Take care!

additional things I would like to add are, My urine is always clear no discoloration since I drink tons of water and my stools aren't black or dark but the typical brown. I talked to my sister who is a molecular biologist and she was telling me when you work out and run your body is trying to release the heat in which case causes these capularies to break?

She said she gets and has them and I have nothing to worry about since I have no symptoms of a fever or anything drastic like weakness.

I would feel better if I had a professional dermatologist opinion.

Thank you again in advance.
