More information needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

The condition you are describing can be cherry angiomas, purpuric spots, etc. I would like you to share some more information with me to help me arrive at a conclusion. I would like to know-
Are the spots raised/flat?
Is there any itching/burning /pain associated over the area?
Do you have any other symptoms like fever/body ache etc?

Besides that, if you can post a good quality close up picture of the affected area it can be very helpful. You can use this site's uploader available on this page to post your pictures.
