Petechiae are small, flat, pinpoint spots that appear on the skin and are caused by bleeding under the skin. They can be a result of many different factors, including trauma, medical conditions, and certain medications. A possible cause of petechiae is hot tub jets.By creating suction and blasts of prtessure against the skin. This suction can cause small blood vessels to break.
