There is a way to test for petechiae - take a clear glass and press it against your skin. If the spot does not blanch but the skin does then it is petechiae. Usually rashes are not serious but with petechiae it can mean your blood is out of whack.

It sometimes precedes illnesses such as a lupus flare.
