Skin bleeding: Assuming that these are not bug bites from fleas or no- see-um mosquitos, the most worrisome occurrence would be petechiae. This term refers to small dark areas of spontaneous bleeding, usually from the legs. Petechiae are usually signs of clotting disorders, such as itp or leukemia. Please seek attention from you physician, who will likely start with a complete blood count and clotting tests.

Sounds strange: I would recommend prompt evaluation by a dermatologist.
