No need for concern; reassured common occurence
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
I read your clear description of these 'petechiae'.
Nope. No need for any concern.
If there is a 'sudden spurt' of lots of these petechiae, then we need to worry.
Few here & there are of common occurrence.
If your general health is good, there is nothing to be concerned about. Let them remain & carry on.
