Help! What is this rash? *pictures attached*

Hi! Really hoping someone can help as I’m a bit unsure and don’t know whether to be worried or not.

I noticed a small rash today and I don’t know where it’s from. It’s like lots of little red pin pricks but they’re not raised or spotty, it’s underneath the skin but very small and like pins. It’s not purple it’s just like red dots. I’ll post a photo below but it’s not coming up very clearly in it, apologies.

it started out as a tiny cluster or 3/4 of the pin pricks on my lower arm and has spread slightly onto my hand and up my arm but only slightly and it doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore. It’s not getting better or going away either. It’s not on my other arm/chest/anywhere else.

I haven’t used any products specifically on my arm and I only used the same face wash in the shower that I always use and that was earlier this morning. I don’t have any chemical skin allergies either (I recently had a skin patch test done for allergies at the hospital a few months ago and had no reactions at all) but I do have eczema although not usually on my arms and it doesn’t usually look like this. The skin isn’t dry or sore at all it’s just the red pin pricks.

I had a blood test around 8 weeks ago as I was really tired all the time and having bad headaches and everything was normal with that too. I feel ok today

does anyone know what this could be and how I could get rid of it?

im 24 so not menopausal and I’m definitely not pregnant either

TIA 🙂

I think I’m probably just going to keep worrying about it so I’ll call the doctors on Tuesday and ask for a blood test- probably nothing but I’ll feel better once it’s checked. No new spots today which is a relief!

Did you ring the doctors today?

I've had unexplained rashes like this that didn't disappear under a glass. Partners had them too.
