Not to worry: This sounds like what are called cherry hemangiomas. These are little gifts that you get from one or both of your parents. They are simply made up of hundreds of small blood vessels. These growths never turn bad. You will continue to get more as you get older. They are very easily treated with a laser without leaving any marks.

Red spot: I can't be sure without seeing the spots. However i would bet that they are cherry angiomas which are a benign proliferation of blood vessels.
