Doctor can check: Rashes and spots are difficult to describe or visualize in words. Widespread spots may be part of an allergic reaction, or viral or bacterial infection. Tiny blisters can be chicken pox or folliculitis. Bluish or purplish spots may be blood spots and may need blood tests. Sometimes, spots have unknown causes. His doctor or dermatologist can examine both him and the rash, to find a diagnosis.
