After i got out of the shower, i noticed tiny dark purple spots up the side of my left forearm. not itchy; no bumps. could this be dangerous?

Likely: Nothing to worry about. It is likely due to a small 'bruise'. If worsens or doesn't go away have your doctor look at it and do some blood work to check your platelet levels.
