Red spots: This may be hands, foot and mouth disease which is a viral infection seen mostly in children. Adults can also get it but it is a much milder infection in them. The eruption may persist for 10 days and is usually not itchy. No treatment is available but none would be needed anyway for such a mild infection. See your MD as needed.

Generalized spots, reddish & quarter-sized, may be part of an infection (some viruses cause this) or an allergic reaction to foods, medicines, etc...

Petechiae?: If the red spots look like tiny drops of blood int he skin, they are petechiae and should be evaluated by a physician.  However, red spots can be other things.
