Brief Answer:
Petechiae, associated with trauma or viral infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
These are looking like petechiae which are usually caused by trauma or may be associated with viral infection.
I would recommend you to keep them under observation as they should resolve in few days.
If they don’t resolve in few days consult a doctor and go for clinical examination.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
