Brief Answer:
Likely to be a purpura
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
It is likely to be a purpura, small bleeding into the skin.
It might have occurred following a minor trauma or rubbing in your sleep and is likely to get absorbed and disappear over the next few days.
If more such spots appear you should have your blood count and coagulation parameters to detect the cause.
