Petechiae: It appears that you have increased capillary fragility. This can be seen in vitamin C deficiency, taking of aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen, problems with blood platelets. If this is severe enough to cause nose or gum bleeding, urinary bleeding, consult a hematologist for evaluation. Otherwise try taking vitamin C and avoiding aspirin,ibuprofen,naproxen,etc.
