HI all,

My girlfriend recently started to get a few pin-sized red dots on her skin. I've recently noticed a few appearing on my skin too. I'm guessing we may have some kind of mite biting us in the night but I thought I should check if anyone had some ideas on what other things it could be. We are both final year university students, could it be stressed related if not a bug?

Basically has anyone got any ideas of what we are looking at.

mostly likely it is an insect bite. It would be very rare to have the same allergic reaction by two people. Unless someone is trying to kill you and feeding you rat poison. Blood thinners (both found in medicine and rat bait {coumadin}). Will cause "petechia" small hemarrghia on the skin

they were in a cluster about 1 and a half inchs in acircle, but they stopped

Recently I have just dicovered small dots on the inside of my arms, there are 8 on each arm. Does anybody know what they are from, they appeared over night? I am also a University student.

you should have your condition checked with a dermatologist. In the meantime, apply a disinfectant solution like hydrogen peroxide followed by an antibacterial ointment

My wife and myself had them appear and disappear. I personally do not think it has anything to do with bites. I even heard it is normal.
