A member asked:
Why do red spots appear on my back after exercises like push ups? is it blood vessels that have bursted due to pressure? i did not wear a shirt.

Probably not: Most likely it is a form of hives. This is usually from either sweating or may be from exercise itself. It would be unlikely that blood vessels are bursting. If it is painful, itchy, etc, see your doctor.
