Give it time: Small hemorrhages in the skin will fade with time. Let it heal by itself, intervention can only make it worse.

Hi! Could you tell me, please, if petechiae can appear from shaving, shower or sweating ? I shaved my legs and in the next day some violet spots came out on my leg. I am worried. Thank you?
