Question Red Spots

Broke out in red spots on my skin. I am pretty sure it is purpurea and pitchea (sp?) like another time. Sort of like someone took a red Sharpie marker to me, looks exactly like blood just under the skin surface. No itching or anything - just there. Haven't been around any communicable diseases.

Not worried about it; just wondering how long it will be before they go away. A few of the ones from the last breakout are still there 2 years later, but some went away.

I ask as I have a party to go to and several are on my legs and chest. Call me vain...

Do you mean like broken blood vessels, or a (perhaps slightly) raised rash?

There is no line, right?

Nope, not raised, no lines. Looks exactly like someone dabbed me with the tip of a red Sharpie marker.

I get that sometimes on my forearms. Don't know what it is - doesn't hurt and goes away by itself. I forget to mention it to the doctor because it never happens on a day I have an appt.!

Do they stay for a long time, like sometimes forever?

I have like broken blood vessels/capillaries(?) that can occur when I hit against something (they will usually subside then in days to months), and other ones that have stayed forever. I had some burned off by a plastic surgeon several years ago (which, by the way leaves scars ).

How long do they last - I can't recall. I do know some may last forever like last time - just curious how long the bulk will stay before they fade/go away.
