Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Though the images are not very clear but from what I could see, these pin point red spots could be probably due to insect bite. Other causes could be infection, drugs, petechiae, eczema etc. Right now, just use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone and calamine lotion twice in a day for few days. Also I would like to know, when did these lesions appear If these are itchy other afflicted sites Hoping to hear from you soon. Take care
