I get these, I have several now and it started in my thirties.My first was on my breast and now they're on my legs and stomach. Just what happens as you get older. Keep an eye on them obviously but they're nothing to worry about.

Is it a flat, bright red spot? Like a red mole?
If so, I get those too and they're harmless and common (but if they itch or bleed, get them checked).
My doctor said it's called Pupura (not sure if I've spelt it correctly) and she said it's a part of aging and due to small blood vessels bursting under the skin. She said that they're not always red but can be purple too.
I notice more of them as I get older.

Thanks for your reply. I got a wierd sensation in my calf yesterday, have been fatigued & then spotted the marks on my breast on tummy. Small flat blood marks not painful.

They're normal ime. Like moles though if they change or you're worried get it checked.

The frequent urination and fatigue could be anything - UTI, overactive thyroid, diabetes, pregnancy. Or you could have just drunk a lot and slept badly!
