When should i worry about two purple dots that appeared on my thigh. they are small and parallel to each other. i can't remember hurting myself. they weren't there yesterday either. when i squeeze the skin around it(crumple it up) it kinda fades?

Watch and wait: You may watch the "spots" periodically. If the spots more than double in size, develop nodules, ulcerate or bleed, you should see a doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
